I use these often:

Describe Variable:      C-h v <tab>, search through *Completions* buffer.
Apropos command:        C-h a <search-item>
Search info:            C-h i (gnus) s <search-item>

and helping us all out.

Yeah, I've taken a few stabs at the source and it was source 1, me 0.

Nice, I didn't know about that one.
