Hi Eike, As you suggested I will develop a KRunner plugin for KJieba https://github.com/isoft-linux/kjieba instead of M.O.D plasma ;-) For Latin, it is comvinoent to just input letters for querying, but for Asian Languages (????) there is a convertion, just like what you mentioned, between letters and characters, and we often use Pinyin (does not need IME) to input letters.
