Sorry, lxr.kde.org answers this, obviously. It's used for RMB on selected text in khtml and
for the search bar: in both cases showing the full list of engines would be too much, so
the "select your favorites" GUI was added.
But it confuses users.

How about: removing the checkboxes from the main search engine list, and adding a button
"Select Favorite Search Engines" which pops up a dialog which contains the list of engines
again, but this time with a checkbox, and which explains where those favorite engines are used?
