... and when you find something somewhere that you think is useful,
bookmark it by using C-x r m. You can list bookmarks with C-x r l or
jump to a bookmark with C-x r b.

Remember that you can search all manuals using the s key (not C-s but
just s). This search goes through an entire manual, not just the page
you're looking at.
