That's a lot of work, and you get a similar (more comprehensive) result by searching at the online Documentation center. On the other hand, it's TOO comprehensive, throwing up hundreds of duplicated articles, items from packages I don't own, et cetera. Type in "Euler equations" and try finding the article on Calculus`VariationalMethods`, which includes a function called EulerEquations. (Sure, if I already KNEW that...)
