In the past, I've had to be careful about adding too many folders to
QuickSilver so it doesn't get too slow and take up too much memory.
However, with the Spotlight plugin, which I just install for the first
time, can I search using its index now? I've read its documentation
page,
but I'm not understanding how to use it.
There are actions from that plug-in that will allow you to do one-off
Spotlight searches (the results are not added to the catalog), but
honestly the regular Spotlight interface is probably better for that.
The main value of the plug-in is that it allows you to create custom
catalog entries based on a Spotlight query (instead of a specific folder
location). Installing the plug-in doesn’t do anything to your catalog
or results unless you create one of these entries. For example, I’ve
always disabled the built-in Applications preset and created one using
the Spotlight source that searches for `kMDItemContentTypeTree ==
'com.apple.application'`.
