Hit "ALT+F2" to bring up the "Run Command" dialog.  Type something that doesn't correspond to a program or path on the computer ("kljafhkalsjhfg" works well).  Hit "Enter".

Expected result: Some sort of feedback.

Actual result: Nothing happens.

Since KRunner can do many things and we don't know what the user intended to do, it would be difficult to define a good feedback massage. KRunner goes the other way: It informs the user about what it _can_ do with what they entered, not about what it can _not_ do, which should suffice.
If you don't see any result for what you typed, then there is nothing KRunner can do with it.
