Feature request for Konqueror as file manager

To help people with the habit of unsystematically bungeling hundreds of files into the same folder I suggest Konqueror adds an intelligent file tool similar to the workings of the search engine Mooter www.mooter.org that groups hits into clusters after analysing the hits.

It's dynamically post-indexing as opposed to Northern Light's static pre-indexing.

We have to face that some users are not very systematic minded and KDE should offer to help this group.

The idea was inspired by this posting:

It's the first time I see Mooter an I like the idea very much :-)

Anyway the right place to do a wish is at http://bugs.kde.org/wizard.cgi.
And a future KDE version is supposed to have a Google like search interface for local files. I suppose that it will be more intuitive than "Tools->Find File...".
