Use :helpgrep to search plugin help files too

I learned recently from Josh Branchaud's Vim Un-Alphabet screencast series about searching your help files with :helpgrep.

This works with the help files for your plugins too. For instance:

:helpgrep Author:  Tim Pope

Will search for the string "Author: Tim Pope" and will return entries for all plugins that Tim Pope authored that you have installed.
