Oops. Sorry. I thought you were being sarcastic.
I am using Rev 2.1.2 and my Help menu drop down has:
Documentation
Transcript Dictionary
Search Documentation <----- this is what you want
----
License Revolution
Revolution Support
Check for updates
To get to this menu I did the following:
Start Rev. Look at menubar at top. At top right, see Help Menu.
Select it, notice the third item down: Search Documentation. There I
am
At least that's what I see in Rev 2.1.2 running on Mac OS X. I
haven't had a chance yet to try it out with other OSes nor to see if I
have 2.0 and it is somehow different from 2.1.2. Will do that in a few
hours--have some errands to run.
Meanwhile, if this doesn't solve your problem, please let me know which
OS you are using (I already know you are using Rev 2.0).
