Hi all,
I'm making a more concerted attempt to use the Emacs help system but ran into a 
case where I was forced to use Google. 

I wanted to get the character count in a region. At the `M-x apropos` prompt I 
tried all variations of `character`, `char`, `number` and `count` without 
results. A quick Google search showed that I needed `count-word-region`. My 
question is how could I have used the help system to get there?
