If you're interested in the online documentation, you should read the Help
section of the manual (available online naturally, via C-h i).  It lists
`C-h a' and `M-x apropos-documentation' along with many other commands, and
has an entire Apropos subsection (and 8 other subsections).

I think I found out about the other apropos commands long ago by typing
`M-x apropos ?'.  But maybe I'm just curious.
