283296 - rtfm:// style links

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 283284

(Core :: Networking, enhancement)

Description

[bs]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041219 Firefox/1.0 (Debian package 1.0+dfsg.1-1)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041219 Firefox/1.0

Just a request: many people get the standard "RTFM" reply from angry or
overwhelmed sysadmins when they have a specific question to ask. Why not
introduce a rtfm:// URL style where the keywords after the rtfm:// protocol
identifier will be searched using a search engine (user selectable)? Much like
the Google bar that is alread part of the Firefox application.

e.g.

"rtfm://keyword1+keyword2+keyword3" or
"rtfm://keyword1;keyword2;keyword3"

I have no preference for the keyword separating character (space, dot,
semicolon, + sign, whatever).

What do you think?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
N/A

Actual Results:  
Not a bug, just a feature request.

Isn't this the same as a keyword search!
