            Bug ID: 484290
           Summary: [Request] Expanding functionality of Krunner -
                    Searching text within documents
    Classification: I don't know
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: agapp11 at hotmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

Is it possible to make krunner find specific text within pdf/writer/etc
documents and then open the document to the specific location in the document
of that text? or at least have krunner show a "quote" with that search term
(from the document) so i could copy/paste and look for it in the document
manually?

For example: if I search for the term "shrimp" with krunner, it would be nice
if it finds it within my libreoffice writer document and open the document to
page 4 halfway down the page, where that term is found. If there are multiple
terms it would be nice if it presented multiple options from the same document
(with a few words before and after for context) or from other documents.

This missing functionality will put KDE so much further ahead of both Windows
and MacOS (not to mention how useful it would be to have!)
