I see. So is there a way for me to have Quicksilver search deeper within directories? I don't think I'd mind the sacrifice in the speed of searches.

What I meant by "I selected everything to be cataloged" is that I just checked all the boxes in the Catalog preferences.

Thanks, Howard.

QS by default only searches ~/Documents down 2 levels (maybe 1, I forget). This is to keep the catalog small and QS fast. I don't know what you mean by "I selected everything to be cataloged" so it's hard to know what it's set to do.

You might find the Catalog section of the QS manual helpful. It has screenshots and describes why you don't want to just set QS to catalog everything to infinite depth.

Can someone please tell me why Quicksilver is not searching all directories?

For example, if I see a file in a particular folder called Temp, when i try typing the file name in Quicksilver, it doesn't find the file. I tried this for a number of files. I selected everything to be cataloged, so I don't know what the problem is.

The catalog is set to update every 10 minutes. I tried rescanning the catalog too before looking for the files using Quicksilver.

I'm a newbie to Quicksilver, so your help is really appreciated! :)

Thanks!
