There is one for X called TkMan, and it is a hypertex manual page browser 
that has a reasonable better text search support compares with Xman.

You can find TkMan in:

	ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/ucb/people/phelps/tcltk/

Btw, you also need a page formatter called RosettaMan in order to get 
TkMan working, and you can find that in the same directory above.

Good luck!
