Note, that if you're looking for a file Something.txt if you type all of that, the . in .txt will change you text mode and change the default action from Open to something else (based on what plugins you have installed) quite possibly a web search.
If you're looking for a file, just type the name without the extension (or stop after a few letters if Quicksilver has found it as a suggestion).
