I figured it would be something simple like that. I've wondered what those numbers meant.
For the records, the best approach is to set MANSECT yourself, e.g. in Preferences -> Advanced -> Shell Variables.
If you set it to 1:2:3:4:5:6:7:8:9 it will search all sections.
I do plan to change it so that it fallbacks on section 1, if it doesn’t find a match in section 2-9.
The reason I exclude section 1 is that many system functions exist also as a shell command, and I use the man lookup mainly for the former.
