If you've ever moved your files around and need to reprogram all your

I’ve edited `Mnemonics.plist` by hand in some cases, like when
“1Password 5” gets replaced with “1Password 6”. That’s
obviously not a good answer for the general case. Just an anecdote/idea
for the willing.
I’ll address “all the possible partial typings” below.
Right now it's such a huge pain to program all the subsets such as:
f, fi, fil, file, filen, filena, filenam, filename
This could be made so much easier if you could just type "filename<"
in the
Assign Abbreviation command and have it bump up the score for all the
subsets.
Except that a sane person would only ever want to use “fn” as the
abbreviation for “filename”, which wouldn’t even get added using
the scheme above.
Partial kidding aside, you don’t need to pre-define every possible
abbreviation for a thing. Quicksilver is already looking at things like
that before it learns anything. Just use your preferred abbreviation
naturally to augment the learning process.
For example, if I frequently use “saf” to launch Safari, but one day
I type “safa” instead, QS should rank Safari higher than it
otherwise would just because I’ve used it more often than the other
things that matched, even though it’s never seen me explicitly use
“safa”.
