BTW, I broke that :) so I'll fix it tonight. I'll change it so that you need
to put ./ or / for konq to intervene (though I'll keep the magic for www*,
ftp* etc.). We'll see if we like it.

Are you thinking at registering and unregistering protocols based on the
pseudo-prefixes that konq_searcher "creates"? I thought of that but that
doesn't work straight for Internet Keywords (IKWs after this, it's too long
to type :)). Also, I really like the filtering idea, where you can do many
smart things that do not rely on a fixed prefix.

Do you mean KURL doesn't support registration of protocols? That would be
bad, unless there's another extension mechanism?

Yves.
