Ok, I started that. I actually already have a UI which I wrote for my 1.1.2
patch. I just need to port it to 2.0 and then retrofit support for Simon's
konq_searcher's prefixes. I don't plan to separate IKWs and konq_searcher
functionality at that time, since konq_searcher's search engines are used by
IKW's fallback to search behavior. So for now, IKWs and search are in the
same module/plugin.

I'm planning on putting documentation too, but can't honestly call what I'll
come up with a "handbook." Does KDE have a name for such a small
documentation (whose purpose is just to provide help on the dialog)?

Yves.
