An empty window, with no title bar (only a close and a zoom button), only showing "no items selected" on a gray background, is the Quick Look window. You can close it using its close button, or by pressing the space key.
However, what you describe seems different than just the Quick Look window hiding the FoxTrot window; can you open Console.app (from /Applications/Utilities), select "system.log" in the console's left pane, click the "clear" toolbar button, then launch FoxTrot or select "New Search Window". Is something logged in Console.app's window?

"FoxTrot is way better and faster than Spotlight and seriously more
usable. With around 200000 docs on my 60Gig drive, using Spotlight
is just hopeless.
Searches with FoxTrot are just instantaneous and you can view them in
all sorts of ways. The preview is just wonderful."
