# Provides a much easier way to search and access ZSH's manual. First checks for
# terms at the start of the manual, then checks if it's at start of a line allowing
# whitespace.

usage: $0 [--help] [--zsh-help-debug] [--all] search term(s)
Options:
--all - search for the term anywhere, not just at the start of a line.
--help - show this help message
--zsh-help-debug - print out the regex search choosenq instead of searching
Looks up things in the zsh documentation. --all must come after --zsh-help-debug
if used together.
Uses less as the pager. Press 'n' to search forward 'N' to search backwards.
Case is ignored unless capital letters appear in the search term.
