I guess it's not entirely clear, but it works this way:

  If you put the URL to an RSS feed into that box and hit the button,
  we'll fetch it, verify it, and add it to our database so that it
  comes up in future searches.

  If you put the URL to a web site that has RSS autodiscovery info in
  it we'll fetch it, verify it, and add it to our database so that it
  comes up in future searches.

I *think* some of our other RSS folks are reading this can update the
docs.  But I'll ping 'em if not.

In any case, beefing up the search needs to happen.  There are folks
working on it for the non-Beta release.
