Hi!

Great!
The first commit which was not done by me or Martin! This is really great!
It works fine for me and it's done in the right way (using KActions).

The buttons should go into the toolbar of the display windows? I'm not sure if
this wouldn't make the toolbar too big and too complicated. What do you
think?
You can already use key bindings for the navigation.

This is a good idea.

Do we really need full support for lonks in the search dialog preview? How do
we handle links into other modules (e.g. strongs numbers)?
The links can be used to create bookmarks by Drag&Drop at the moment.

We had this before I made the new searchdialog. You're right, it's really
missing.
In the older searchdialog we had a menu which looked the same as the popup in
the modules result view part oof the search dialog. Offering the same (print,
save, copy) for the selected entries in the result list would be cool!

I like you work!
