 .Sh DESCRIPTION
 The
+.Nm apropos
+and
+.Nm whatis
+utilities query manual page databases generated by
+.Xr mandocdb 8 ,
+evaluating
+.Ar expression
+for each file in each database.
+By default, it displays the names, section numbers, and description lines
+of all matching manuals.
+.Pp
+By default,
 .Nm
-utility queries the manual page database.
+searches for
+.Xr mandocdb 8
+databases in the default paths stipulated by
+.Xr man 1
+and uses case-insensitive substring matching
+.Pq the Cm = No operator
+over manual names and descriptions
+.Pq the Li \&Nm No and Li \&Nd No macro keys .
+Multiple terms imply pairwise
+.Fl o .
+.Nm whatis
+maps terms only to case-sensitive manual names.
+.Pp
 Its arguments are as follows:
 .Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Fl C Ar file
+Specify an alternative configuration
+.Ar file
+in
+.Xr man.conf 5
+format.
+.It Fl M Ar path
+Use the colon-separated path instead of the default list of paths
+searched for
+.Xr mandocdb 8
+databases.
+Invalid paths, or paths without manual databases, are ignored.
+.It Fl m Ar path
+Prepend the colon-separated paths to the list of paths searched
+for
+.Xr mandocdb 8
+databases.
+Invalid paths, or paths without manual databases, are ignored.
+.It Fl O Ar outkey
+Show the values associated with the key
+.Ar outkey
+instead of the manual descriptions.
 .It Fl S Ar arch
-Search only for a particular architecture.
-.It Fl s Ar cat
-Search only for a manual section.
+Restrict the search to pages for the specified
+.Xr machine 1
+architecture.
+.Ar arch
+is case insensitive.
+By default, pages for all architectures are shown.
+.It Fl s Ar section
+Restrict the search to the specified section of the manual.
+By default, pages from all sections are shown.
 See
 .Xr man 1
-for a listing of manual sections.
-.It Fl I
-Case-insensitive pattern matching.
-.It Fl t Ar types
-Consider only types of keyword match, where
-.Ar types
-is a comma-separated list consisting of the following:
-.Ar name ,
-manual names;
-.Ar func ,
-function names;
-.Ar utility ,
-utility names;
-.Ar incl ,
-include files;
-.Ar var ,

-.Ar conf ,
-configuration strings;
-.Ar desc ,
-descriptive text;
-.Ar xref ,
-cross-references.
-.Ar path ,
-file pathnames;
-.Ar env ,
-environment variables; or
-.Ar err ,
-error codes.
-Specifying
-.Ar all
-will search for all types.
-.It Ar key
-The search key.
+for a listing of sections.
 .El
 .Pp
-By default,
-.Nm
-searches for pattern matches of
-.Ar pattern
-in manual names and descriptions
-and displays results sorted by manual title.
-Output is formatted as
+An
+.Ar expression
+consists of search terms joined by logical operators
+.Fl a
+.Pq and
+and
+.Fl o
+.Pq or .
+The
+.Fl a
+operator has precedence over
+.Fl o
+and both are evaluated left-to-right.
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It \&( Ar expr No \&)
+True if the subexpression
+.Ar expr
+is true.
+.It Ar expr1 Fl a Ar expr2
+True if both
+.Ar expr1
+and
+.Ar expr2
+are true (logical
+.Sq and ) .
+.It Ar expr1 Oo Fl o Oc Ar expr2
+True if
+.Ar expr1
+and/or
+.Ar expr2
+evaluate to true (logical

+.Ar term

+where
+.Ar key
+is an

+macro to query and
+.Ar val
+is its value.
+See
+.Sx Macro Keys
+for a list of available keys.
+Operator
+.Cm =
+evaluates a substring, while
+.Cm ~
+evaluates a regular expression.
+.It Fl i Ar term
+If
+.Ar term
+is a regular expression, it
+is evaluated case-insensitively.
+Has no effect on substring terms.
