"Non nil means apropos commands will search more extensively.
This may be slower. This option affects the following commands:
-`apropos-variable' will search all variables, not just user variables.
+`apropos-user-option' will search all variables, not just user options.
`apropos-command' will also search non-interactive functions.
`apropos' will search all symbols, not just functions, variables, faces,
and those with property lists.
