I couldnt find this text on drupal.org but if it is there, it should be changed asap to http://FQDN/cron.php (with some remark about subdirs). Where FullyQualifiedDomainNames is for example www.example.com. Otherwise the site listed in the drupal-sites section will be listed with its hostname.

Not just search is depending on cron.php, all time related things within drupal are. The schedule module, the RPC call to drupal.org/sites, tracebacks and lots of other modules need a trigger as well.
