Reading through a long man page in terminal to get to el' result and then find and use cmd extensions. vs 2s google "how to inurl: tcpdump http packet"

You are doing it wrong if you are "reading through a long man page".

What is the „correct“ way? (real question, I am curious)

[yesenadam]

You can search man pages by "/" then your search term, then press "n" to cycle forward, "N" to cycle back through occurrences.

Might I also suggest apropose.

grep is pretty handy, -C 5 or so will get you a nice amount of context. Maybe GibBreakPls has better tricks.
