The index search is IMHO more powerful than apropos, because the latter
searches more-or-less arbitrary text (the doc strings), while the former
searches index entries which were crafted specifically to be useful for
finding the topic they point to.
So I recommend to try `i' first, even before apropos. The only
exception to this rule is when you almost know the exact name of the
function/variable--in that case, apropos will usually have a higher
success rate.
