I don’t think anyone's asked you what you do get when you type “g” in - is it def the google search option? when I recently did a clean install of Quicksilver the google search option seemed to disappear but it was just miles down the results (at no. 80 in fact!) Even when I type “google” in it’s 9 results down. Quicksilver will learn that the google search option is what you want when you type “g” in time, it’s clever like that, but you can force it to remember straight off by tapping on the little white dot next to the term then tapping on “set as default for “google”.
so in short, type “g” then just keep tabbing downwards in the results till you find “google search” then tap on the little white dot next to the “google search” option and choose “set as default for g…” (see image attached). (obvsly in the example in the image i typed in “google” rather than just “g” but same applies.) (also obvsly i have “open url” above “search for…” in my actions hierarchy.) > On 24 Oct 2014, at 05:11, Jon Stovell <[email protected]> wrote: > > I can't reproduce your problem here, NovaScotian.
