It doesn't work with file: URLs that have query parts, like

   file:///path/to/racket/doc/search/index.html?q=lambda

which is how a search from DrRacket or "raco docs" works.

Eli: it occurs to me that the main search page could look in the 
fragment (after the "#") as well as the query (after the "?") for its 
arguments. The version of xdg-open I have installed does work with 
fragments.
