Perhaps you’d also like to know how to stop your car from moving when you drive 
it, or how to stop your e-mail client from showing you all those darn messages. 
;-) You’re asking to disable the thing that makes Quicksilver “quick”.

This can’t be done currently. It might be possible with a new string ranker 
plug-in, but I encourage you to give it a chance as is.

The default built-in string ranker will show many many results, but it should 
give higher priority to the kinds of things you’re asking about. That is, items 
beginning with that contiguous string should be higher in the list of results. 
(Click the gear and make sure “Sort by Score” is enabled.) Even if something 
isn’t high on the list at first, if you “use” it once or twice, it will bubble 
up to the top the next time you do the same search.

As mentioned previously, you can also install the TextStart Ranker from the 
plug-in preferences, but I think that would be further from your goal, not 
closer. That ranker (which is what I use) gives higher rank to things where the 
characters fall on word boundaries. For example, if I type “pe”, “Some Picture 
Editor” will appear higher than “Pencil”. But again, they would both be on the 
list, and if I always open “Pencil” after doing that search, it will quickly 
start appearing above “Some Picture Editor”.
