I remember that feeling. For a time, when I wanted to learn more, no matter 
what I was about to do I tried to remember to bring up Quicksilver first, then 
think about how I could do it after. But that was 6+ years ago. I don’t think 
about it any more. :-)

Like Howard says, don’t worry about all the results. With a little bit of use, 
it’ll learn which ones matter to you and show those first. A setting I’ve used 
for a loooong time that gives me peace of mind is “Show other results: Never”. 
That prevents the list of results from appearing unless you start skimming it 
with the arrow keys. Since the thing I want is almost always there with a 
little typing, I don’t need to see the rest.

You can probably live without any of the “(Catalog)” stuff in your catalog 
(Preferences → Catalog → Quicksilver → Quicksilver Catalog Entries). The main 
benefit to having them is that you can tell them to rescan, but that shouldn’t 
be a common task and there are other ways to do it.
