In addition, I forgot to mention (and I don't know how to edit here), that it
would be nice if when you search for "shrimp" using krunner it presents a brief
description from the document:

"...does not eat shrimp as it he has allergies"

with the word shrimp highlighted/italicized and then clicking it will open the
specific document to that page where the term is located (as mentioned
previously).
