If it’s not the same then it’s a bad idea to give it the same name.
Imagine searching for a tutorial or a bug fix.

One would be in nothing more than the very same situation, which apparently has been problematic in your way for pretty much no-one, of Microsoft's various different programs all named CHKDSK. There have been at least 3, one of which we were told for years was superseded, which was not true for the next two, and the third of which has had four different flavours in the past 30 years.
Or command names that are common words like MORE, BREAK, DATE, CALL, IF, MODE, MOVE, PROMPT, SORT, TIME, COPY, and PATH for that matter.
What you are telling us is that the only way that you can think of to look this stuff up is by putting single words into a general-purpose WWW search engine. Instead of the intelligent way of finding the index of a command reference for Microsoft operating systems and looking up the EDIT command there. Microsoft has published its own command reference for decades, and there have been many others, including entire books on commands in Microsoft operating systems, for even longer.

Like most people do.

Same problem

And changes the URLs to that references multiple time. More than one old links lead to nowhere now

Books with a hefty price tag
