I'm running a prerelease of the Mozilla 1.5 browser. The bookmarks include a
"Technology Demonstration, SmartFind" underneath the "Mozilla Project" menu.
When i try any of the links inside this menu, I get an error dialog with this
   "find is not a registered protocol."

("Bookmarks containing name 'Mozilla'", etc)


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:



Expected Results:  
Long ago I remember playing with this feature and being impressed enough to
raise an eyebrow. This was back in the pre-1.0 days. Nowadays it seems like a
strange feature to include at all.

I've never heard of "Technology Demonstration" bookmarks.  Are these bookmarks
still present in newer releases?

Yes, I am running Mozilla 1.5 and created a New Profile to test with. The exact
menu path to the "Technology Demonstration" bookmarks is this

Bookmarks -> Mozilla Project -> Technology Demonstration -> Smartfind queries ->
BROKENSTUFF

The BROKENSTUFF is 5 or so bookmarks with names like "Bookmark URLs Containing
.org".

I remember in old pre-1 milestone mozilla's these were actually submenus of all
the current bookmarks matching the query. Currently it is a bookmark item that
still gives the "find is not a registered protocol" when clicked.
