Can I disagree?
for a newbie, i guess he is already overwhelmed with the option he gets
after <c-d>
and if not, helpgrep would definitely do the work.

and although admittedly there are a few more tags that should have been
added to the help tags (don't remember now any specific), you can always
suggest them or to add them manually to the 'tags' file, or even tweak the
help files themselves by prepending and appending the asterisk to the
relevant words, or even add them.
