Searching for contacts in Google account not works

[face]

Hi,

i've enabled the search for contacts and i can search within all my iCloud contacts.

I've also another account on my mac with google and Alfred not display these contacts: why ?

If use Spotlight i can search also for Google contacts.

Thanks

Just tried this myself and Alfred isn't finding Google contacts.

It appears to be an issue with Alfred: my MailTo workflow uses the Address Book API and finds Google contacts just fine.

This may be a bug, however there is a workaround: Open Alfred Preferences. Go to Features > Contacts > Advanced and select Searching: Use Spotlight metadata for searching contacts

That way, any contacts you can find in Spotlight will also appear in Alfred.

I've created a corresponding bug report in the Bugs forum. Please keep an eye on that thread and add any further relevant information to there.

Thanks for the workaround, it works like a charm (waiting for the fix of this little bug)

Been looking into this. It looks like it's a problem with OS X. Which version are you running? 10.11?

Yes 10.11.3
