There already is "pydoc -k", also known as

    pydoc.help.listmodules(key="whatever")

And there are some special topics like

    help("DICTIONARIES")

for an introduction to dictionaries.  I wonder if anybody *ever* found
that documentation from the interactive prompt.  There would certainly
be a point in advertising this documentation somehow when entering the
interactive help prompt.

Cheers,
