Krunner has this neat plugin to perform a nepomuk search of one's indexed content. However krunner doesn't run from the start in plasma-netbook (at least in opensuse 11.4) since you have the search and launch feature built on top of krunner. And since I don't want to start krunner just to search files I wondered if there's a way to enable that plugin in search and launch. I thought enabling it in krunner would do the trick but I was wrong. Any ideas?

Does Plasma Netbook have it's own configuration of Runners that it uses when searching? You might be able to enable Nepomuk search there.

Actually it does! I did some tinkering and it turns out its configuration is under configure search and launch. I'm still thinking why didn't I think of it sooner. Thanks!
