  I dunno what's different for you, but for me, Firefox 2.x finds
"www.gnhlug.org" if I type "gnh".  I don't know if it's doing matching
on domain labels ("between dots") or simply stripping "www" as a
special case.

  Maybe you do.  For some reason, I rarely did that.  If I needed to,
I'd pull up a history search to find that sort of thing.
