For a start, you could run

grep -i 'package\|procedure\|function' *.ads

once, in the directory where you Ada system files have been entered.
(Use findstr if you have Windows.) Save the output in a file. Then,
for a two word search, use the features of your editor to bind
a key to a command like the following.

grep -i %1 output.file | grep -i %2

:-) This is not a the real thing though. 


Searching the LRM in one of its free forms is useful, too.
It is available in Info format, so if Emacs is your IDE,
searching is easy and quick.


Is there a risk that with package-dot-popup functionality alone
program text will have an abundance of FQNs?

(The public Ada Emacs mode has identifier completion, though to some
extent only.)
