Yes, supporting Kate plugins is another thing that I'd like to figure
out one day... But actually, we have many different types of windows in
RKWard, and I already have a custom search bar widget for one of those
(for searching in KWebView windows). What I'd really like to do is
to use the same search bar for search in _both_ KWebView and Kate
windows (and spreadsheet windows, and, possibly, plots).

Also, of course, we might want to have more specialized search features,
eventually. E.g. finding where a specific symbol in the object tree is
referenced in a script. Having a ready-made SearchInfterface will make
implementing such things just a small bit easier to accomplish.
