       | Anyway, I clicked the link, which took me to a 404 error page -
       | https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc0768.html (The correct URL is
       | apparently without the leading 0)
       | 
       | This site does seem genuinely useful, but I think the UX could
       | really use some polishing here, especially since I literally
       | followed through with one of the example queries in the middle of
       | the homepage.

       | Also I like the "obsolete" tick box.

       | As the other commenter said, this trashes the back button/history
       | by treating every keypress as a new URL. Make sure you use
       | replace.
