observing users with "search clients" that are stand-alone apps, it is my=20

there is the crystal search plasmoid in playground/base/plasma/applets/ whi=

aims to resolve this in much the same way Apple did: make it easily availab=

in the one bit of UI that nearly everyone has: a desktop panel. (of course,=

the case of plasma you can put it nearly anywhere you want.. )

i'd really like to see crystal cleaned up and moved into one of the main=20
modules (kdebase, even; i see search as that critical; it could even be par=
t=20
of a default layout?). it would allow desktop search to be used as a quick=

locator.

it would also make a lot of sense imho to improve the presentation in krunn=

of results from the Nepomuk runner so that it should more than just the fil=

represent files.
