google search bar

[Oliver Stieber]

Couldn't you use the location bar and just add an extra button for a search.

It would be really nice if it was a context based, so that it would searh
for file if you were in file:// node and do a google search if you were in
http:// mode. 
a button+drop down would allow the user to override the default search if
required.

Clicking dropdown from fs.

It's already working as you say, but I'm not sure if the feature is 
new to KDE3.3. 

I'd like it disabled by default too, since it adds only clutter to the 
interface with no new functionality, and turning it off is not trivial.
In the future, when there will be an interface to enable/disable konqueror plugins, the choice to enable it would be up to the user, hopefully.
