No, the problem was just I didn't understand it well. Now it's ok, thanks.

My idea here is to implement the first 2 parts. They seems ok (and really 
great).
So I propose them for rekonq 0.3 awesome bar.

My problem with 3rd part is that the first two could retrieve so much sites 
that having more runners will add just confusion (too much choices!)

Divide results in two (or three, in future) parts seems ok, here.

PS: don't know what GoogleTOS is, but I think that GoogleRunner will be one of 
the most useful rekonq's awesome bar runners. So it has to be here.
