What if I don't know what options are there so I have to read or skip the examples to find the options? Most manage use is skimming the terse options section to remember what flag matches with an option and to remember which options I want.

I know how to search, it's the only man page I know that is formated this way and I find it to be a very poor design choice. As if I know what I wanted I wouldn't be looking in the man page.
