How to Search for LAPACK Routines

We collected some typical keywords which might help you finding the LAPACK routine you need.
The system we use for this search is very simple. We created a file containing the information from the "whatis" database (whatis is a Unix command which gives you a short description of commands). When you click on "Search Now", we run a PERL cgi-bin script which looks through this file and returns the names and descriptions of those routines which include all keywords. Then the script creates the page showing the results and links the routine names to the files containing the information from the manpages.
The disadvantage of this simple and relatively fast mechanism results from the small amount of information we use for this search. If the description says, computes the inverse and you search for invert then the search would fail.
