this is often more efficient than going through an internet search.
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.
I have a copy of Adobe Acrobat, so I create a PDF portfolio with a
searchable index from the PDF docs. Anyone who wants can download the
portfolio for the 2.15.41 docs from
http://www.users.on.net/~njpayne/music/lilydoc-2.15.41.pdf (33Mb).
You'll need Adobe Reader 9 or 10 to open it. Nothing else can cope with
PDF portfolios.
