/os/usr/share/man/man1b/whereis.1m (the whereis manpage)
specifies that whereis searches the following locations:
[bart-savagewood!jhawk] /usr/share/man/man1b> sed -n '/ft 3/,/ft 1/p' whereis.1b | grep -v '^\.' | sort -u
/usr/5bin
/usr/bin
/usr/etc
/usr/games
/usr/hosts
/usr/include
/usr/lib
/usr/local
/usr/share/man
/usr/src
/usr/ucb
whereis(1b) very clearly searches other locations, however:
[bart-savagewood!jhawk] ~> /usr/ucb/whereis make
make: /usr/ccs/bin/make /usr/man/man1s/make.1s
The definitive list would appear to be:
[bart-savagewood!jhawk] ~> /usr/ucb/whereis . | sed -e 's/^.: //g' -e 's/:/_colon_/g' -e 's/\.\. /:/g' -e 's/\. /:/g' | tr : '\012' | sed 's;/$;;' | sort -u

Sure looks like a Solaris doc bug to me...
