We've been aware of this limitation in the QS ranker for quite a while, and I've tried to improve it in the latest version of Quicksilver (but I don't think it's fixed)
Could you create an issue on GitHub so that we can keep track of it. One alternative is that you could try the TextStart ranker (instead of the default built in one). Install it as a plugin, then change the string ranker in the handlers prefs On 20 Medi 2014, at 04:58, [email protected] wrote: > I've recently discovered searching within text files, which seems like it > should be really useful, except... > > The scoring stinks!
