did you try?

it would be extremely simple to add such a “kind of search result” feature to 
AbstractRunner and QueryMatch, and would be a rather nice addition. 

btw, what type does the calculator return?

and obviously there is something “wrong” with the 
AbstractRunner/RunnerManager/QueryMatch API since people keep feeling like 
they have to reinvent it for the most trivial and unnecessary of reasons.

create 2 Plasma::RunnerManagers, load the desired plugin(s), call 
setSingleRunnerMode on each.

or ..

just load calculator and bookmarks in a single RunnerManager. this won’t give 
you the default search results for the bookmarks, but i’m not sure you really 
want to list all the bookmarks on the system when there is no search term 
anyways ...
