Yeah, you can do this for any site (except you should never need to type out 
the full word once Quicksilver learns your habits). What you call a keyword 
will just be a web search in your Quicksilver catalog. So once you have an 
Amazon search added, you just search for it (typing “az” should be enough) then 
go to the 3rd pane to enter your search term. Again, with Smart spacebar 
behavior this would mean typing something like “az␣1984”.

The web search plug-in comes with two lists (Simple and Full) that come with 
Google, Amazon, and lots of other common ones pre-configured. (Look under 
Plugins in the Catalog preferences.)

I find these too noisy and don’t like the way some of them are named, so I just 
uncheck those and create my own. (In the catalog prefs, hit the + button at the 
bottom and choose “Web Search List”.)
