I can't really be sure if I understand what a KRunner plugin is or
does but what you say here seems to be what I mean.

Just imagine the following use case and maybe it's getting clearer then:

I sit in a meeting room with my laptop and conversation turns to the
subject "Project Vulcan" ;-)
Now I know I was having some pictures I took somewhere on my computer,
along with meeting minutes of previous meetings. Since I am unable to
organize and name files correctly  I just wanna see what I've got
about 'vulcan', by very quickly entering the text somewhere, without
having to break conversation because I start fiddeling with the shell
and 'find' and I immediately got a list of files with the text
'vulcan' in their names. If I wait a little longer there will be more
hits such as text with 'vulcan' in them and vulcans in my address book
and so on. I want a list, click on any entry and open the appropriate
file.
If any of you happen to have a macbook or an iphone, just try that
search field. It's terrific.

Will do. Thanks!
