Ranks are also influenced by how often you use something. So if you use an abbreviation for the first time and it matches 10 things, and you’ve launched one of those things 100 times using another abbreviation, it will still rank higher.

So it possible you’ve used Quicksilver to open all those higher ranked items in the past?

Something I forgot to mention yesterday… You don’t have to type the abbreviation you plan to use then scroll through pages of results to find the thing. Type way more than you normally plan to (enough to get an exact match), then run the “Assign Abbreviation…” action on it and enter the shorter string.
