Bug ID: 484291
Summary: [Request] Expanding functionality of Krunner -
Searching internet directly from desktop using krunner
and presenting results
Classification: I don't know
Product: kde
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: unassigned-b...@kde.org
Reporter: agap...@hotmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
Would it be possible to do a search query from the desktop using krunner and
then having it show top 5 internet search engine results for a query directly
in krunner. Would that be difficult to implement?
For example, if I search for `g gaming` using krunner it would be nice if it
showed the following results:
Youtube: gaming
Reddit: r/gaming
Wikipedia: gaming
Verge: gaming
CNET: gaming
More: gaming - click here for more results
While also presenting a brief explanation of each link. It would further expand
the functionality of using krunner to search for stuff. I think the convenience
and utility of such a feature is truly immense - being able to select the link
that interests you (or even expand it further to look in the browser) would
save so much time when googling stuff (sometimes I just want to briefly google
a highly technical term and having to type `g term` and then scroll through
browser for example, is much slower than having it briefly appear on desktop
and then moving on. When you have to write a thesis, every bit of time saved is
a godsend!
If it's too difficult to add I understand, but it would sure be great to have
and really put KDE ahead of everyone even more than it is!
