Dear Maintainer,

in Kde4, you could type "gg:debian" into krunner to start a browser and
search "debian" on google.

Now, krunner seems to still have a module for that, and these shortcuts are configured
inside konqueror (where they work) but they don't seem to work inside krunner.

It would be nice to have this functionality back.

I couldn't reproduce this issue, but the web shortcuts were disabled by
default in krunner, and it doesn't use konqueror anymore but the browser set
in the preferred applications.

Can you check if the web shortcuts are enabled in the krunner settings, and if
your preferred browser points to some sensible option?

Happy hacking,

Yes, enabled.
It did not, I had to manually set that in systemsettings5

Also, to make things work, I manually had to install kio and a bunch of random
qml stuff, otherwise the entire plasma5 doesn't do much.

The problem is that I don't know exactly what I did, and possibly you did the
same on your machine so that is why it works for you (as it does for me now,
after doing all that)
