Hi,

As far as I know, there are no plans to implement this feature. The reason is 
that it is already implemented in Baloo (KDE native reference engine).

Regretfully, Baloo can work effectively on the relatively fast (SSD) drives 
only. Indexing on the generic HDD is very slow. But on SSD, it takes 1-2 
seconds to find the paper needed in even huge collections. For example, I have 
~20 GB of PDFs and Djvu files in my collection (~6GB of Ballo index file) and 
it takes 1 second to find all papers with the word "viscoelasticity" on 120GB 
SSD via Dolphin.

The other native option is Elsevier's Mendeley. It's proprietary but works on 
HDD. It' slower than Baloo but can show the snippets of the found entries.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Yuri
