Hi Phaneendra, interesting project indeed.

Yes, I had to abstract Nepomuk away when I added support for it in
Gwenview because at that time it was not reliable enough to develop the
UI against it. I think the abstraction should be removed as it prevents
the implementation of useful features like live notifications of Nepomuk
changes.

Can you provide a mockup for this? Right now the information panel is
about displaying information for the current image. I am not sure it is
the right place to trigger searchs, but maybe I can be convinced by a
mockup :)

This sounds good.

There is a project named libkface. You may want to look for it.
