hmm, thinking about it..
-an unique id for a result, regardlessof the runer that owns it (would it 
feasible? would depend from what rhe result does for  run()) so the results 
could be filtered
or more simply,
-the nepomuk runner excludes bookmarks, or
-if the bookmarks runner knows somehow that the default browser stores 
bookmarks in nepomuk and the nepomuk runer is enabled, it doesn't search, so 
needs a way to define exclusions for runenrs
