[Nepomuk] nepomuksearch: doesn't work like its documentation

[Sebastian Trüg]

Actually nepomuksearch:/ is an internal thing and should not be entered
by the user. It is up to the client to generate that URL from user input.
The documentation is probably out of date. A lot of changes went into
the search kio slave.

Cheers,
Sebastian
