Nah, its more than that. You can also search by metadata. I.E. you can find all pictures taken with a certain digital camera, between x and y dates. You need plugins for that though, and none are available yet, but hopefully will be soon when publishers catch on. You can also write out searches as predicates which is nice. The system caches all the indexes as you go so searches are pretty fast. I have to check out this Quicksilver later. It looks better, and its free...
I have to say that, Quicktime is the biggest pile of w**k ever created. Virtually all media players are better, and the Wmv codec is much better (even if it does have that really long seek time)
