When I upgraded to El Capitan, Quicksilver no longer had that

only takes me to apps within Apple - Mail, Messages, iTunes, etc.
It sounds like the URLs just aren’t in your Quicksilver catalog any
more. If you’re using Safari, they changed the way bookmarks are
stored when Yosemite was released. If you still had the old property
list version laying around, Quicksilver would continue indexing that. If
you did a clean upgrade and don’t have all your old files, that would
explain why it quit working.
Does that sound like it could explain the problem?
There are a billion other ways to get the URLs you care about into
Quicksilver, but obviously the Safari plug-in needs to be fixed.
I just installed the new update of Quicksilver but I still can't get
it to
take me to websites. The reviews all say it's better than Spotlight
but
there are now lots of things I can do with Spotlight that Quicksilver
won't
do.
It depends on what you want to do, I guess. If you’re searching for a
file based on its contents, use Spotlight. Quicksilver is better for
everything else.
