It was probably added for the same reason quite a few other KDE applications 
added some form of on-the-fly searching, it makes the process of finding what 
you want much quicker.  It depends on modules having appropriate metadata of 
course but given that it's really a great way to go to look for modules that 
may configure what you're trying to change.
