We should strip "http://" in search results

In the search results, we show the domain url with "http://".

Should be easy... Keeping in 1.1

This is pretty trivial to change, just modifying the line in searchresults.py:
    self.url_short = '%s://%s' % (parsed_url.scheme, parsed_url.netloc)
to
    self.url_short = parsed_url.netloc

But when I look at the results I think they look a little strange. The http://
clearly points out that the text is a link, and without that context it 
definitely
loses something. I'll post some screenshots in a bit. I think we may want to 
run this
by our UX person.

It's common to not show "http://", since we do this on Google web search, Image 
Search, etc.  However, lowering the priority on this one.
