How to use QLIK HELP efficiently

Hi Community,
I would like some advice on how to use the QLIK help in a way (at least for me) more efficiently.
I try to explain better.
Suppose I need information about using Autogenerate.
If I search in the help I find thousands of occurrences.
Instead, I would need to get the main reference that explains the syntax of the statement.
Can someone teach me the trick to get straight to the syntax of statements?
Any help is appreciated.
Best regards.

For the vast majority of syntax, a simple search should take you to the page for that function/statement.

Autogenerate specifically does not have its own page because it is part of the syntax for the Load statement, so it's under that help page. This is the case for any number of other keywords, and the best approach is to check under the most logical header (for Autogenerate, that would be Load because you can't Autogenerate except under a load).

I'd also recommend a Google search, which would turn up this: https://community.qlik.com/t5/Design/Autogenerate-Your-Data/ba-p/1465273

Hi Or,
many thanks for the quick response.
Unfortunately, the path you suggest corresponds only partially to my expectations.
I'm trying to figure out if there is a method to land directly in the reference documentation.
Something like what happens when you highlight "Load" in the script editor after enabling help mode.
In this specific case the following link is activated:
"help.qlik.com/en-US/cloud-services/Subsystems/Hub/Content/Sense_Hub/Scripting/ScriptRegularStatements/Load.htm"

And now the question: 
Is there an alternative way to get to the same reference documentation?
Thank you for your attention...
Kind regards

Google search for the keyword you're looking for followed by Qlik Help should work at least nine times out of ten, if not more. That's what I use when I want to read up on something.
