I think the quickest way to search the lilypond stuff is to use the
info files. The tty program to read info files is `info', or if you
like a lynx-like, colourful interface, `pinfo'. Both programs can
search for regular expressions, so looking for
two.*side
would give you a result quickly.
Of course, the Emacs info file reader can do the same; if you are not
on a Unix like platform, this is probably the solution to go.

Maybe it would be helpful to add `two side' to the index...

You can also try a google search on lilypond.org, restricted to a
certain lilypond version:
site:lilypond.org/doc/v2.15 two side
