I've been using Quicksilver for a long while, so it almost seems
embarrassing to ask, but maybe I'm missing something or someone has seen
this before:
Should the indexing/rescan system be remotely reliable?

Most of my catalog entries are set to rescan "Every 10 minutes".
However, when I add something to the entry (e.g. a folder/file in an
indexed folder), it can take a long time for the entry to show up in the
index. In fact, I'm not sure if things show up at all, because sometimes I
get impatient after a long while and force a rescan.

Some details:
- This behaviour has persisted for a long time, even after I configured all
my Quicksilver settings from scratch after moving to a new computer half a
year ago.
- I think it happens with multiple types of catalog entries, but my primary
annoyance is folders.
- There don't seem to be any useful issues about this on GitHub, although
the Task viewer tip from
#924<https://github.com/quicksilver/Quicksilver/issues/924>is useful.
- Running "Force Catalog Rescan" (from Internal Commands) works, although
that takes a few seconds, of course. "Catalog Rescan" and Cmd-R don't work.
- I'm not sure if rescans happen with any frequency, but I keep running
into the issue. The long debug cycle (at least, when things should be
working correctly) makes me reluctant to figure out exactly what's going on.

Anyone know what might be going on?
