It's not a proper interface. It just prints the list and takes you back to the state you were before. Typical situations:
- You didn't find what you were looking for. You may try now a different keyword: type "apropos ebook", for example.
- You found something that looks promising, but you want to learn more about it. Try reading the man page: type "man ebook-convert". (Note that you could have typed this before, if only you knew there was something called "ebook-convert".)
- You found exactly what you wanted. Just run the command: type "calibre". (As above, you could have typed this before, "apropos" is simply doing some search and displaying the results.)
