it should be an adequate UI for quickly getting to items. i wouldn't sugges=

it as a desktop search tool (i'd rather see crystal, which i also mentioned=

but it may not be either and i'd rather focus on krunner as a "quick launch=

yes, i'm not particularly happy with them either. i'd prefer to see a pagin=
g=20
system at the bottom of the window, web-like. i just didn't have time durin=

4.5 to make it happen myself, and nobody else stepped up with patches.

it already does this in 4.5 and above, though you may want to resize it for=

the maximum size.

it isn't really the best place for it, no. plasma-devel@ if you are wanting=

get involved in making it better (e.g. through patches), or bugs.kde.org fo=

specific issues, or Brainstorm on forum.kde.org for more vague items.
