It's often hard to get the third pane completely blank, the difference is between having empty text there and having nothing there. The technique I've found that works consistently is: when defining the trigger, go to the third pane and type command-x. This is the standard Cut shortcut and you are literally cutting out anything that might be there. I think it says this in the Web Searches section of the manual.

I quote from Howard Melman's excellent guide to Quicksilver:

"A trigger for a commonly
used web search, such as Wikipedia, is very useful. If you specified
the argument in the trigger it would search for the same text each
time it’s run. However, if you leave the third pane blank, then when
the trigger is run, Quicksilver will open a command window with the
first two panes filled in (in this case with Wikipedia Quicksearch
and Search For…), and the third pane selected, ready for you to
type the query."

When I leave the third pane blank, it actually only brings up a blank
Wikipedia search page in my browser - Quicksilver doesn't appear at
all. I am using the Wikipedia search that comes with the web search
module. What am I doing wrong?
