## Search for the string @var{str} in all functions found in the current
## function search path.  By default, @code{lookfor} searches for @var{str}
## in the first sentence of the help string of each function found.  The entire
## help text of each function can be searched if the "-all" argument is
## supplied.  All searches are case insensitive.
##
## Called with no output arguments, @code{lookfor} prints the list of
## matching functions to the terminal.  Otherwise, the output arguments
## @var{func} and @var{helpstring} define the matching functions and the
## first sentence of each of their help strings.
##
## The ability of @code{lookfor} to correctly identify the first
## sentence of the help text is dependent on the format of the
## function's help.  All Octave core functions are correctly
## formatted, but the same can not be guaranteed for external packages and
## user-supplied functions.  Therefore, the use of the "-all" argument may
## be necessary to find related functions that are not a part of Octave.
