Subject: Turn off abbreviation feature?
Hi all,

I'm new to Quicksilver, and I *think* it could become central to the
way I work, like it has for a lot of you folks.

However, I can't get used to the abbreviation feature, you know, when
I type in "beta", I get "Dan Bennett's tax return", which has
*nothing* to do with what I was looking for. I'm typically finding
that this abbreviation behaviour is making the signal-to-noise ratio
really poor, with (often) the majority of stuff not relating to my
search.

And what's more, I simply don't think in abbreviations when searching.
It wouldn't occur to me to type "pfl" when looking for "Pink
Floyd" (though, actually, this worked first time... spooky!)

So... is there a way to turn it off, so that it searches for exact
matches to what I type? There doesn't appear to be an option in
Preferences. Maybe an environment variable? As an enhancement request,
I think that an option would be a good thing.

Thanks,
Dan
