Yeah, honestly I don't care much which implementation KMail uses -- if it's 
based around a single line edit then a subclass could just be used and 
itemMatches() could just be reimplemented.

If the KMail folks can figure out more or less what you'd like to see I can 
try to come up with an implementation for it.  But as I said I don't think 
that something as cumbersome as the standard search line widget would be 
best...

Anyway -- KMail stuff aside -- I'd like to commit this and have a few places 
that I think it would fit.  If I don't hear a negative at some point I'll 
probably just commit (with a couple more clean ups...).
