1. I'm not sure how common or wanted this feature actually is. I just search in a web browser. And, when I talk to Windows users, they typically lament that Windows Search does an internet search.

2. I know krunner has this and has had it for a while. I have it turned off and I think it might be that way by default, for the issues noted above.

Turns out, mixing internet search on desktop search is just not very intuitive. Okay, the web browser searches the web. And then my operating system searches... my operating system. Seems pretty good to me.

I mean, I would be quite caught off-guard if Chrome suddenly started showing my documents in google searches.
