/usr/local/share/ri/1.8/system/String/squeeze-i.yaml

m.

PS Your shell line didn't work OMM so I wrote a version in a language I
understand a little better, i.e. Ruby:

`ri --list-doc-dirs`.each {
   |s| puts `find '#{s.chomp}' -name '*squeeze-i.yaml'`
}

PPS I would just like to repeat that I don't actually care about this
particular problem. Even without the peculiar case of squeeze!, I would
*still* like interactive ri to present me with a list of numbers to type
instead of names. One or two characters (digits) is a much faster
alternative for picking the one you want.
