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.)
