Agreed. I barely use Alfred that much and that's mapped to the similar-but-different option+space (Spotlight is mapped to command+space by default). If this kind of functionality could extend Alfred (or Quicksilver?), there would be no question that this would see relatively regular use from me.

If I need to open something, I'm much more likely to open another tab of my browser and dump queries (especially things like exchange/conversion rates) into Google. It's a shame, too, because the demo here is really persuasively showing that this can automatically do stuff I previously assumed necessarily takes an extra brain cycle or two.

I use Alfred too, almost entirely just to do "Sleep" and "Lock", which Spotlight - for no very good reason - doesn't let you do. If Spotlight could do those, I'd uninstall Alfred: even though it does many wondrous things, I just never remember to use it to do them. I'm certain this app would fall into the same category for me.

I also use Alfred for a quick definition if I'm pretty sure the system dictionary can handle the word (otherwise I ask Google), but I agree that a vanishingly small number of additions to Spotlight would render Alfred defunct for me. For 90+% of the things Alfred does, I find myself thinking "oh that's pretty neat", but I simply can't make it go into my workflow.

You could try removing your spotlight shortcut.
