For the web search, you can create such a trigger by simply flipping the 
order around so that the freeform text goes in the third pane of the 
trigger, like so:

Google -> Search For… -> freeform text


When you create the trigger, simply make sure that the third pane is 
completely empty (you can press Command-X in the third pane just to make 
sure). Then whenever you run the trigger, Quicksilver's command window will 
pop up with the focus already on the third pane, ready and waiting for you 
to type in your search query.


For the email to self, you have two options, depending on exactly what your 
use scenario is. If you are selecting text in a document/web page/whatever 
that you want to email to yourself, you could create the following trigger:

Current Selection -> Email To… (Send) -> me


If you want to type the text on the fly and then email it to yourself, 
either of these should do the job:

me -> Compose Email

 

"Note to self >>" -> Email To… (Compose) -> me


The first form will create an email addressed to you with a blank subject 
and blank body. The second form will create an email addressed to you with 
the subject already set to "Note to self" and a blank body. (Note that the 
second form will only work if you include the ">>">) Which form you should 
choose depends on whether you want to specify the subject every time or to 
use the same subject line every time. Also note that with this method (in 
either form) you don't type the note text itself in Quicksilver's command 
window. Personally, I prefer that. Quicksilver's command window is not 
really the place to write more than a word or two, in my opinion.
