Bug Description

In Gnome Do there is a plugin named: "Read Manual Pages (man)" that searches and shows the manual pages for a command.
The Kupfer "Search in DevHelp..." doesn't show this info.

This should be a "one-liner" (ok 20 lines with boilerplate) plugin.

If I write "man:<command>" in kupfer, it shows "Open URL" and, when I press <ENTER>, it opens the man page in gnome-help.
It's the same functionality, but it would be better if I hasn't to write the "man:" part.
Moreover, this string ("man:<command>") must be written in text mode to work.

The previous workaround "man:<command>" works but it limits the use.
For example, I can't show the man page, through kupfer, of a selected command because I have to add "man:".
