NetBSD abhinavu 7.99.20 NetBSD 7.99.20 (GENERIC.201507122140Z) #0: Sun Jul 12 22:30:59 UTC 2015  builds@b45.netbsd.org:/home/builds/ab/HEAD/amd64/201507122140Z-obj/home/source/ab/HEAD/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC amd64

>Description:
The apropos(1) legacy mode does not search through the one line description of the NAME section, it only matches the name of the man pages.

It also doesn't respect the -s and -n options.
>How-To-Repeat:
abhinavu$ apropos -l copy file
apropos: No relevant results obtained.
Please make sure that you spelled all the terms correctly or try using better keywords.

abhinavu$ apropos -n 2 -l copy
prop_array_copyin_ioctl(9) - Copy property lists to and from kernel space
kcopy(9) - copy data with abort on page fault
copy(9) - kernel space to/from user space copy functions
bcopy(9) - copy byte string
CURLOPT_COPYPOSTFIELDS(3) - have libcurl copy data to POST
[Several more lines followed]
