I think this is one of those cases in
which you find useful tools most easily not
so much by a specific search as by browsing
to see what is available. My impression
is that functions fall into a continuum
from those you know you want -- but need
to know the syntax for -- to those which
would be very useful to you -- if only you
knew what existed and how it might be useful.
There are further comments in this vein
within my last column in the Stata Journal,
2(4) 2002.
