I was kinda hoping someone would post a very wise, guru-like answer to this one... but not so far  I suppose most of us just look through it till we find what we want and become familiar with it in time.
CONFIG_RTC is under (kernel 2.6) Device Drivers|Character Devices|Enhanced Real Time Clock Support. |

Here you go:
In recent kernels only you can do a search function using '/' in make menuconfig.
eg
/BT848
returns:
| Code: |
Symbol: VIDEO_BT848 [=m] │
│ Prompt: BT848 Video For Linux │
│ Defined at drivers/media/video/Kconfig:10 │
│ Depends on: VIDEO_DEV && PCI && I2C │
│ Location: │
│ -> Device Drivers │
│ -> Multimedia devices │
│ -> Video For Linux (VIDEO_DEV [=y]) │
│ -> Video For Linux │
│ Selects: I2C_ALGOBIT && FW_LOADER && VIDEO_BTCX && VIDEO_BUF && VIDEO_IR && VIDEO_TUNER |

Marvelous --thank you lookinin and bollucks.
Experimenting shows that, in `make menuconfig', the "/" search is
NOT case-sensitive. Moreover, drop the initial "CONFIG_": if the
option is called "CONFIG_GEN_RTC" in "linux/.config", then
"/"-search for "GEN_RTC".
Does `make xconfig' have a search facility? --I couldn't find
one...
