You might get a lot out of the manual...

Thank you once again for the reply. I found under User there was
"Recent Items" which I had taken the check out of. I had failed to
notice a second "Recent Items" under the Quicksilver tab in the
Catalog, and have now removed the check mark there. Hopefully that
fixes it. Will report back later... :-)
You've been a great help.

You might have to rescan the catalog after unchecking the box.
Activate QS and with the command window up type ⌘R (that's cmd-R).
Another thought is that your quicksilver is scanning a backup drive
and finding the item there.
If that doesn't do it and a visual scan of your other catalog sources
doesn't point to where the doubles are, there is a Show Source in
Catalog action. You may need to enable it in the Action preferences.
Bring up one of the files in the first pane and use the Show Source
in
Catalog action. The catalog should appear with the source
highlighted. Do this for both duplicates. It may be hard to know
which is which as their order might change in the results list, but
at
some point it should work.

Unfortunately, that didn't fix it. Still finding doubles of files in
my Documents folder, despite removing the check mark from "recent
items."
Any other ideas?

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,

See the 2nd item in the FAQ at the end of the user
manual:http://

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.
