Good idea.

For me it doesn't quite work -- when using Emacs 21.3 :

The last "multi-input" doesn't really provide the proper
completion: I need to add the 4-th item ('Rhelp01' IIRC, in the
last choice.
Then, it seems to reveal a problem of (browse-url .) for my
setup:  That gives a popup window with title 'Close Firefox' and
text
   >> 	Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To
   >> 	open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox
   >> 	process, or restart your system
   >> 						[  Ok  ]

which is nonsense in some way, since
the usual RSiteSearch() can open a new firefox window alright.
