perlman:foo vs. perldoc:foo

Being a UNIX junkie I am used to using

perldoc perlsyn
[download]

(for example) if I want to peruse the perlsyn man pages. As a result, I am often confounded by entering

perldoc:perlsyn
[download]

in the Search box rather than the correct form

perlman:perlsyn
[download]

...which invariably leads me to a "Nothing found" result.

Would it be of value to anyone else if the perldoc: form led to the same place as the perlman: form?

In the interests of saving everyone a few keystrokes, try just perlsyn.	[reply]
