Groups & Merchant Profiles: Find a Group by Keyword

The new Social Wave cards were designed to be useful to group leaders who want to promote their groups to people they meet in person. The backside of the card has room for a sticker with additional info on it. The only problem is that there are a growing number of groups and no brainless simple way of jumping directly to the correct group.

A "jump to group by keyword" feature may be very useful. It'd be like the old AOL standard when we used to hear the words "AOL Keyword" in advertisements a lot. We'd also better make sure that there aren't any legal issues with saying something like "SW Keyword". The keywords would both double as an easy shortcut to a group, and also be used to define a short URL for a group like "http://groups.socialwave.net/games/" where "games" is the keyword.

This problem also affects the Merchant Profiles, and keywords may be the way to go here too as well. It should be consistent with the way groups are found.
