Bug Description

When I was introduced with Ubuntu 8.04, the Yelp (Ubuntu documentation) was aware of man command: simply type man:<manpage> into the search string showed the desired man page in HTML look and feel. However, since release 13.04 this feature looks like has been removed.

Any of us may close the report by changing its status from New to Invalid. But I think there may be value to this report: as I mentioned on AU (http://askubuntu.com/questions/439801/man-command-does-not-work-with-yelp?noredirect=1#comment574556_439839), I'm not sure why the "legacy" behavior cannot also be supported. That would make this a feature request though (but if it's accepted, the triager can take that into account in assigning severity).
