Improving the searchbox applet

[Onur-Hayri Bakici]

I recently let the netbook containment on my netbook and i am really heavily 
impressed. Great job!
Moreover i discovered the searchbox applet, which pretty much belongs to my 
daily use case
However i also came accross tiny things that I am not 100%ly happy with.
I would like to extend the applet a little bit with this idea: Since all 
windows disappear when you enter text in the searchbox widget, instead i would 
like to list the searchresults underneath the textbox widget, due to 
"distractions" in the user's workflow.
Therefore it is easier for the user to return to his/her recent task. It
probably will look like spotlight from apple OS but imo
it is important not to disturb the user with maximized searchresults.

I integrated the krunnermodel into the applet, but i did not find a reasonable 
view to display the searchresults.
I tried Plasma::TreeView, however do not think that the searchresults should 
be displayed on a white background with the "plasma-themed" panel.

My question is: What is the best recommondation to display the results that 
look nice on the plasma panel, without reimplementing a view?

cheers
