Yelp does not show man pages

[Hopungo Semi-bit]

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.

Actually, I have an answer which solves the problem. Feel free to close this report.

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).
