Topic: Searching the standard library

Hey I am wanting to use the fact that for natural numbers, 0 = a - b <-> a <= b. Is this in the standard library somewhere?

Incidentally, what's the best way to search for a lemma like this? The ideal for me would be some kind of search bar where I can type in "nat sub eq zero iff le" and potentially get a result. There's this index but this requires you to input the first letter of the declaration you want, and is not really searchable.

Search Nat.sub O eq iff.

Search is very powerful but also very literal, so it can take some skill to use well. See the examples in the refman for inspiration.

Some advice from my experience: if you're looking for a lemma that should exist but can't find it, try widening your net, by either removing search terms or being less specific. For example, Search (0 = _ - _) is more specific than Search 0 (_ - _).
