Alfred defaulting to search after timeout

[asdalavisa]

So, if i type in for example 'find hello'

Instead of searching for the action, it displays "Search Google for 'hello'"

 

 

The find command is turned on, and works for other items

 

any ideas?

 

I've tried using workflows, and when they're loading or timeout, it asks to "search google for 'command'"

 

Thanks in advance!

What you are describing is known as a fallback search. This occurs when the search term that you provided doesnt match anything within Alfred's current search scope.

 

By default, when you search within Alfred (no command provided), Alfred performs a search for the default items selected in Alfred Preferences, in the Features tab under Default Results. The 'find' command performs a more broad file search. As mentioned, when the search term that you provided isn't found in whatever the current scope is, Alfred will default back to whatever fallback search you have specified.

As a Powerpack user, you can also customise these fallback searches to be most useful to you:
