Apart from the online manpage archives, there’s man -k and grepping the manpage directories, but that’s not really ideal (although that’s what I did when I started Unix a long time ago).
There are help browsers like in kde which are kind of nice but I’m not sure if they do a full text search. But they’re nice for info pages.
Just so you know, the fact that they are capable of even using Linux puts them in the top percentile of intelligence.

99% of people probably couldn’t even tell you what a syntax is. Let alone how it’s relevant to using Linux
Linux, like all Unix systems, even mostly comes with built-in documentation.

Would explainshell.com suffice?

Can confirm, I’m an idiot and I have a couple machines running various distros.
