            Bug ID: 484291
           Summary: [Request] Expanding functionality of Krunner -
                    Searching internet directly from desktop using krunner
                    and presenting results
    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: ---

Would it be possible to do a search query from the desktop using krunner and
then having it show top 5 internet search engine results for a query directly
in krunner. Would that be difficult to implement?

For example, if I search for `g gaming` using krunner it would be nice if it
showed the following results:

Youtube: gaming

Reddit: r/gaming

Wikipedia: gaming

Verge: gaming

CNET: gaming

More: gaming - click here for more results

While also presenting a brief explanation of each link. It would further expand
the functionality of using krunner to search for stuff. I think the convenience
and utility of such a feature is truly immense - being able to select the link
that interests you (or even expand it further to look in the browser) would
save so much time when googling stuff (sometimes I just want to briefly google
a highly technical term and having to type `g term` and then scroll through
browser for example, is much slower than having it briefly appear on desktop
and then moving on. When you have to write a thesis, every bit of time saved is
a godsend!

If it's too difficult to add I understand, but it would sure be great to have
and really put KDE ahead of everyone even more than it is!
