There is also a really nice cgi that I use locally to view and search man pages on my machine. Makes for nice reading. Very easy to install.

and if you really want to get fancy - you can add this bookmarklet to your menubar that will popup a dialog for quick searching in the man-cgi:

Create a bookmark - name it anything you want - for the url use this (all one url - no spaces, broken below for easy reading):

javascript:void(q%3Dprompt('What%20Man%20pages%20would
%20you%20like%20to%20view?',''));if(q)void(location.href='htt
p:%2F%2Flocalhost%2Fcgi-bin%2Fman-
cgi%3F'+escape(q))
