If you're interested in getting past this stage of learning the Linux/Bash environment, I'd recommend reading man pages.
I worked with someone who introduced me to this approach, and at first I was like "I'll just Google it again and get on with my life," but once I forced my way through a couple of them it's really opened my eyes and changed the way I use the tools available.
ls has enough options to spell most people's names (capitalization included), and a lot of grep pipelines can be replaced with options passed to grep. It turns out that we're almost always doing things the hard way or reinventing the wheel.
