I use an indexing program, like MTLibrarian, to index all of the
documentation. Then, you can just search by keywords throughout the
docs (including non-header documentation, such as is contained in the
auxiliary manuals Apple supplies, like the SystemOverview book).
Check www.versiontracker.com for MTLibrarian and programs like it
(there's a couple of other documentation indexers out there).

I wonder if anyone has some useful tips on locating the information you
need in Apple's docs.
I'm new to Cocoa. Today I wanted to use NSBundle to load a nib file
which is located in the application's "Resources" directory. Looking
at the NSBundle docs (and those of its superclass NSObject) showed no
nib-specific methods. So, I spent a most of the morning trying to make
things like NSBundle's +bundleWithPath work, with much frustration and
ultimately no luck.
While looking up something else I noticed that the Appkit docs include
a second NSBundle entry. I hadn't even bothered to look for this in
the Appkit docs, because NSBundle is a Foundation framework class, and
I'd already found it's doc page, or so I thought. These docs include
the +loadNibNamed method, exactly what I needed.
Obviously I'm not grasping the organization of the documentation very
well; how would a more-experienced Cocoa developer think to locate
something like this?
