It probably does. It's also in Wasabi. With regard to the kio-find
plugin. There already quite a few similar efforts.
Strigi has something like this and so does kerry. Granted the strigi
kioslave shows a html page only atm. However, showing file entries is
trivial.

I think it's best to simply use the wasabi end user language and uri
encode that into a url parameter so something like
  find:/?q=hello%20world
