An apropos(1) term lets you specify searching different "Macro Keys",
including the "any" key that can be used to match any available.
Quoting the manpage:
By default, apropos searches [...] case-insensitive substring
matching (the = operator) over manual names and descriptions (the Nm
and Nd macro keys).
You can search any of the macro keys that makewhatis indexes however:

Such as the special "any" key.
