Search Indicators in Dolphin

[Rigo Wenning]

Vishesh, 

again thanks for all your work on this. A special application looks 
fine. It could be linked as a button from konqueror and dolphin. I would 
encourage you to look at the query language that recoll is using, 
especially to allow for tag search and proximity search and graph 
search. 

The compromise being that the "average" user will just type stuff into a 
text field (like google) and expect magic. While more search-aware users 
can augment precision by using a more advanced search syntax in the same 
field. I offer to help writing up a help file for this language. But I 
can't help creating it as I'm not a programer
