Or is that the only way? In general, no there isn't a way, but... For the first one there is (or at least used to be) an OS X service for Search With Google and with the Services plugin installed that became an action. I'm not seeing it now in 10.8.5 so maybe this changed. If you're just looking for a faster way to do the search perhaps a web search trigger is in order. See the details in the manual (they should still be accurate) but you want to create a web search catalog entry for a google search and then use not the Find With... action but rather Search For... So create a trigger for Google, Search For... and assign to a hot key. Then you can just hit that hot key and type the freeform text in the 3rd pane and be done. Also in the manual, there's a description to use to the Current Selection proxy to let you highlight text and hit one hotkey and have a google search happen. Look in the Web Search section: http://qsapp.com/docs/Quicksilver.pdf For your email question, try a trigger that's <your address> Email Item... and a blank 3rd pane.
