C-h a is `apropos-command', which deals only with commands or, with `C-u', with
all functions (but not variables).
What you want is the command `apropos', which is not bound to a key by default:
`M-x apropos'. It is bound by default to menu item `Help > Search Documentation
> Find Any Object by Name'.
