Launchbar (or quicksilver)
  is an app which binds a key sequence (command-space by default)
to a little textfield in which you can type abbreviations.
These abbreviations are then matched against a set of files
(possibly all your files), and the app presents you the possible
files (it also learns your abbreviations in the process),
and opens the file selected.
It's a kind of google on your hard drive ;-).

I don't really see what you mean (and as an aside, I don't really see me
altering the vm for now ;-))
