Howard's user guide gives a good description of how the iTunes module and its catalogue entries work. You can find it in the tacked thread at the top of the main discussions page.
QS ranks items according to how often you choose them as the result of a certain search. This means you can train QS quite easily. For example, the first time you do a search for "AD" you might get Address Book as your top hit. But perhaps what you really wanted was Adium, so you press the down arrow to select Adium in the results list, and then press return to open it. This increases Adium's rank, so that the next time you search for "AD", Adium will most likely appear at the top of the list. The longer you use QS, the better it learns what your patterns are. To quickly increase an item's rank if once isn't enough to put it to the top, you can run the search a few times over until its rank is the highest. There is also the possibility of forcing QS to give this item the top rank to this item for a particular search using the Assign Abbreviation command (see the guide for details), but I recommend not using this, since it interferes with QS's natural training algorithm (Right now you want Adium first, but a year from now you may be using Address Book far more often. Left alone, QS will reflect that in its search results, but if you assign the abbreviation AD to Adium, it will still be ranked at the top even if you now rarely use it.)
