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!
