This comes a little bit late. Anyway thank you for pointing me to that class. 
I am using it alreay and it works really nice.


I took a look and try to find out how konquerors google bar works.
I found a lot of bugs - not in code, but while looking how konquerors search 
bar behaves:

- konqueror combobox has tabs disabled
- klicking on a suggestion opens a new section of suggestions. Doing that 3 
times in the same CompletionBox rusults in a crash (as konqi doesn't show up I 
am not able to deliver a backtrace)
- konquerer doesn't use KLineEdit::userTextChanged, but ::textChanged which
is probably wrong

Further I expect userTextChanged not to drop signals when tabbing in my 
KCompletionBox, but it does. Looks like a bug in KLineEdit to me.


I am using KDE 4.5 from openuse build service.
