wow!
I always get nervous when I have to deal with scripts - could you hold
my hand!
I assume I need to paste:
this
using terms from application "Quicksilver"
on process text thetext
do shell script "echo | qs"
tell application "System Events" to keystroke thetext
end process text
end using terms from
into a text file and save as
Search Quicksilver Catalog.scpt
?
cheers

You will need to install the Command Line Tool plugin in order to make
this work.

Thanks - nice to know it's not possible. I can stop trying to work it
out!
Agreed typing directly in QS might well be the way, but I when I'm
using my gtd app I tend to be in mouse mode, rather than keyboard
mode, so a double click to select a word and then a simple keyboard
command would be cool.
Ah well.

I don't know of a way to do this. It sounds useful, though thinking
it through a little, for something short like "jim" I think I'd find
it easier to just type it into QS rather than selecting the text
(probably with a mouse). For something longer, perhaps the Spotlight
in Command action is what you're looking for. It needs the spotlight
plugin and searches file contents rather than using QS's index, but
the results show in QS.

I can select text, and invoke QS, type Cmd-G, tab to next pane -

QS offers me a range of actions.
But - it doesn't offer me the action I actually need!
What I want is for QS to search for that selected text, in the same
way is searches if I type.
Specifically, what I want to do, is to select a name in one app, eg
'jim' and then run QS to find Jim in AddressBook. However, starting
with selected text QS seems to just offer me actions like 'large
text', 'show contents' etc.
Am I missing a vital step?
