Just enabled Bootstrap for the advanced forum search page (desktop view):

That' page still needs work, and to be converted from <table> elements to <div> elements, and to be redesigned, but in the meantime, it's OK using Bootstrap CSS.

Another major upgrade on the new UserCP today. I have created the "My Badges" page in the new control panel, and it's looking very cool :)

apropos
APROPOS(1) BSD General Commands Manual APROPOS(1)NAME
apropos -- search the complete content of all man pages
SYNOPSIS
apropos [-123456789Ccp] [-n Number of results] [-S machine] [-s section] query
DESCRIPTION
The apropos utility performs a full text search over the complete content of all man pages. It uses the FTS engine of Sqlite to perform the
search. The database is created with the help of makemandb(8) utility.
This implementation of the apropos utility is more sophisticated than the classical version of apropos. Like modern search applications, it
uses advanced techniques like stemming and term weighting to rank the matching results in decreasing order of relevance. By default apropos
will only display the top 10 matches in the output.
Quotes are optional for specifying multiword queries.
It supports the following options:
-1 Search only within section 1 manual pages.
-2 Search only within section 2 manual pages.
-3 Search only within section 3 manual pages.
-4 Search only within section 4 manual pages.
-5 Search only within section 5 manual pages.
-6 Search only within section 6 manual pages.
-7 Search only within section 7 manual pages.
-8 Search only within section 8 manual pages.
-9 Search only within section 9 manual pages.
-C Do not show the context of the match.
-c Do show the context of the match (default).
-n Output up to the specified number of search results. The default limit is 10.
-p Display all matching results and pipe them through a pager (defaulting to more(1)).
-S machine
Limit the search to the pages for the specified machine architecture. By default pages for all architectures are shown in the search
results.
-s section
Restrict the search to the specified section of the manual. By default, pages from all section are shown. This option is for back-
wards compatibility with the classic version of apropos, using it is equivalent to using the [123456789] options directly.
FILES
/var/db/man.db The Sqlite FTS database which contains an index of the manual pages.

The apropos command appeared in 3.0BSD. It was rewritten in NetBSD 6.0 to support full text search using Sqlite.
