If you press the left or right arrow key, I think QS forgets your search when it goes into "Browsing" mode (and therefore can't assign abbreviations or indeed learn at all). You have to navigate to the item you want using up/down, and then right-click the little dot next to it in the results list as select "Set as Default for (term)". You can also use Assign Abbreviation, but the way you'd do that is to type something extremely specific (i.e. "microsoftword" not just "wo" or whatever you ultimately want) so that the _only_ results are Word X and Word 2008 (making it easier to get to 2008, rather than having it 30 items down in the result list), and then arrow down to 2008 -> "Assign Abbreviation..." -> (whatever). That's the better method if 2008 isn't already the second or third item in the results for the term you want to use.
