   Bug: Link under Heading "Search with Keywords" behind 
        "How Cool are Custom Keywords?" leads to not existing page
        <http://www.mozilla.org/docs/end-user/keywords.html>

a) contents is still available at <http://www-archive.mozilla.org/docs/end-user/keywords.html>, I haven't yet checked whether that still is useful.

[Nuno Silva [:njsg]]

The archived content at www-archive looks useful. Examples for lxr and dmoz don't work anymore, but the others do work.

Comment 2

On the other hand, looking at the help itself, the part where the link is already describes this feature (both with and without %s), so perhaps in this case the link could be simply removed?

This was discussed on IRC today and another option would be to link to a MozillaZine KB article (mentioned by frg):
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_keyword_searches

What do you think?

I'm happy for it to link to the mozillazine article, but not sure we need the cool terminology.

l10n patch: when nav_help.xhtml is in English, apply the same changes as in comm-central. For translated files, replace the address and page title.
(In Hungarian, this removes the translated page title.)
