Stupid question but when I google I find "solutions" that direct me to
Project/Project Options/Compiler/Paths and Inherited of which only
Paths exist...
The "Inherited Path" are nowadays found in "Project / Project Options / Show Options / Inherited Parameters". They list what came from the packages.
Then I am directed to source editor / popup menu / file settings /
unit info / unit paths
These are the combined paths of project and all packages for a single directory. These are the end result after combining, resolving macros and removing duplicates.

But there is no such thing in my Lazarus...
On the Paths page there is no mention of "source editor".
Example webpage with this non-working info:
http://wiki.freepascal.org/Unit_not_found_-_How_to_find_units
So where exactly do I go in Project settings to view/set the project
search path?
I want to partition my sources into functional parts each in its own
subdirectory so the path to that must be set somewhere.
Since you are coming from Delphi, keep in mind that Lazarus was designed for cross platform and sharing code.
All search paths are relative.
If your project has a sub directory "stuff" containing .pas files, then add "stuff" to "Project / Project Options / Compiler Options / Paths / Other unit files".
If you want to use a bunch of units in several projects, put them into a directory of their own and create a package. Instead of adding the search path to a project add the package. The IDE automatically creates the search paths for you.
When you want to use the units on another machine, simply copy the directory and open the .lpk file once. The IDE now knows where the package is and any project using the package don't need to worry about the search path.
