Actually, it looks a bit mixed with "manual page" winning:

(514) smkelly at edgemaster:/usr/share/man$ find . -name '*.gz'|xargs zgrep "man page"|wc -l
    1277
(515) smkelly at edgemaster:/usr/share/man$ find . -name '*.gz'|xargs zgrep "manual page"|wc -l
    2279

I must say that "manual page" sounds a lot better.
