It's in the last paragraph in the "offset" entry:

"If you specify how many charsToSkip, the offset function skips the 
specified number of characters in the stringToSearch. The value returned 
is relative to this starting point instead of the beginning of the 
stringToSearch."

One of the syntax examples shows it, though it would be easy to miss if 
you weren't looking for it:

   offset("b","abacadabra",2) -- returns 6
