How to change the position for krunner?

For Kde4 I had krunner start in the middle of the screen. Now with plasma 5.2 it starts at the top of the screen. Which is annoying because I have Yakuake running there...

The options menu for krunner only gives me moduls I can chose from but no more possibility to detach the postition of the window.
How can I fix this to get the krunner window in the middle of the screen (or whereever I like it)?

Also I like to increase the line height of the search results as I use bigger fonts (bad eyes here) and the search results need more vertical space beetween them to be readable.

Thx for any help,
piedro

p.s.: the new krunner is great by the way regarding the sorting of results - that's a great feature - just it should also be customisable ... this is Kde, we don't want to go full Gnome and strip out the options, do we?

you could file a bug and post the link here, I don't see any place to change the position either

also you could try the search widget, seems pretty much the same as Krunner but a plasmoid

Thx for your hint, but the plasmoid is no solution yet:

- if you use it in the control panel it works but is fixed to the control panel
- it sticks around on every virtual desktop (due to the removal of desktop individualization)
- it jumps position (down to the left bottom) once you start typing
- it stays on top and can't be removed if you do not search anything

sad,
p.
