Query Linux man page for certain flag

I often open man pages of a certain CLI tool only to check a particular flag, e.g. man iptables to check -t flag. Is there any tool that simplifies it? I could of course write a simple function in Bash grepping the contents of a man pages but I am looking for something that uses the structure of man pages to find exactly what I want (i.e. description of a certain flag).
