There are several help search tools available. Dir/s etc. is probably the
worst choice for anything but finding file names lost to early
Altzheimers. I often use it for this.

The Master Index is OK for stuff that's obvious. Since it's obvious,
someone thought to index it. For the less obvious stuff a full library
search using view tends to work better. The downside is it works only
searches .inf files, it ties up the desktop while searching and it does
not report the document title. Of course, you also need to have a
correctly set up BOOKSHELF. Newview (see Hobbes) reports the titles, but
tends to crash here. If you have a copy of Devcon R1V12, it contains one
of the better .inf/.hlp search engines.

A search for snmp here using view turns up 100's of hits.
