Hello,

Everything that you mentioned already in the User's Guide.

You are probably referring not to "search" page but to "index" page of HTML Help system.
But then again - what is not in the "index" is on the "Search" page (3rd one, not 2nd.).

Also I think that +, -, >, < , * and all that stuff is elementary school knowledge
and it is assumed it is known to everybody. 
I think that everybody agree that + is addition and does not require any further explanation.

Available operators (including comparision operators) are listed and meaning explained:
http://www.amibroker.com/guide/a_language.html  (in the middle)

All others (keywords and function names) are already described.

Reserved variables and constants as well are described:
http://www.amibroker.com/guide/a_language.html
(at the end)

Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
