One thing that has annoyed me for a long time is that
lush's online help sometimes overwhelms with answers.
I usually use the ^A command key to search for functions
when I can't remember the exact function name or
arguments. What's the function that pulls out the maximum
element in an array?

? ^Amax
451 matches, show anyway (y/n) [n]> n

The problem here is that "max" is part of many function
names in a dozens packages. But I am not interested in
those packages here. It would be nice to have a second search
command that only searches for function names that are
currently defined. Yann, would it be reasonably easy to
implement this on top of the current help system?
