I suspect they're probably being picked up via the Recent Files
catalog source as well. Try disabling it.

I came across this thread when looking for a different issue. For some
reason, some files are found as duplicated. i.e. I search for a file
name called "Journal 1.doc" by invoking QS and typing "jour." It finds
all my journal documents, but doubles of all of them. e.g. QS finds
Journal 1, Journal 1, Journal 2, Journal 2 etc etc. I only have one of
each file, and QS finds doubles in the very same folder. Is there a
way to fix this? The files are in the Documents folder.
Thanks,
William

Thanks for your reply. As far as I can tell, the second item in
the
FAQ is:
"Quicksilver plays or shows notifications for the wrong iTunes
track"
I did find a question in the FAQ related to spotlight, but it still
wasn't clear to me why QS doesn't find a file when I type its
filename
in the search box. I'm not trying to use QS to search for text
within
a file, I just want it to find the file itself. According to the
FAQ,
that is well within the capability of QS.
Forgive me, I was looking at a newer version...
Quicksilver doesn't find my files
By default Quicksilver finds files on your Desktop and in your
Documents folder but it doesn't scan very far into those locations.
It scans things on the Desktop but not inside folders on the
Desktop,
that is it scans the Desktop to a depth of 1. Quicksilver scans
the ~/
Documents folder to a depth of 2. To scan deeper, clone the source
so
it's in the Custom set in the catalog and editable. To do this,
select the Users set and the Documents source, open the drawer and
select the Attributes tab. Click on Create Copy to create a new
source in Custom named Documents. Select the new source and click on
the
pastedGraphic.pdf
6KDownload
button to show a drawer with three tabs. Select the Source Options
tab and select the depth. Do not just set it to infinite, the
catalog
will be too large and Quicksilver will slow to a crawl. See the
Catalog section for some tips.
