One app I've found I use more than any other? LaunchBar.
Some people claim that QuickSilver does what it does, but it really doesn't. LB allows you to find/launch/open ANYTHING on your machine by hitting cmd-space and then typing the first letter or two of what you want.
It is blazingly fast, and completely unobtrusive. You can decide what it indexes and what it doesn't. And it allows you instant access to any app/song/whatever on your machine (you can configure what it indexes). I don't know how it does it, and how it remains so stable, but it does.
