No, it really is easy (I've connected krunner's classes with my custom data 
models without any hassle whatsoever)

I just meant that we should have a larger degree of control about which 
runners from plasma are used in rekonq, and vice-versa.

As an example (the first that came to my mind, not really a useful one), we 
could have a runner with rekonq commands "back", "forward", "view source" and 
whatnot, and that will be useless in the real krunner.

The main problem with krunner is that it is thread-based - so you need to 
thread softly (pun intended :) ) while using it.

The rest is quite simple - just submit the query to it, and listen for 
results, and sort them by relevance.
