  I'm very happy to see this. I opened a thread about this on k-c-d (I think) last year, but I didn't follow through with actual code. We have various search fields in KDE that do something like "only search on length > 3", and they fail miserably with CJK input. KRunner is one such example.
  
  The algorithm seems decent for now. It can always be refined later, once we have a central API for this.
