brilliant! - fixed! - i didnt realise my FF command was a workflow which i must have downloaded in the past, and presumably no longer works. I have replaced it with the simple folder search you suggest, and i seem to be back up and running. This small thing makes a huge difference to my day to day workflow, so I really appreciate your prompt response and fix for me!

hello - yes, you are correct, i have recently migrated to a new SSD hard drive and used time machine to re-install all my data and settings unfortunately your fix above has not fixed the problem when i search for a file eg cholesterol, i get a list of files with that in the filename AND a folder called "cholesterol" however, when i type FF to search for just the folder, nothing Under my Alfred settings, and in the 'Features' tab, under 'Default Results' I have 'Folders' checked (I also have Applications checked as well). Additionally, the folders I am searching for are under the 'Search Scope' of a folder pathway I've defined. any help much appreciated

thanks alfred 4.6 (1266) Mac OS monterey 12.0.1 for example i have a folder called cardiovascular in my onedrive folder if i start alfred and type ff (find folder) and type cardiovascular, it does not find this folder the same occurs with some individual files alfred can find files and folders contained within the cardiovascular folder and it can find other folders in my onedrive i have re-indexed the drive as per the instructions above if i drag the folder into the alfred troubleshooter guide, i get the following message Starting Diagnostics...

hello - was there ever any solution to this - i am in the same boat, and have tried the above fixes without success. Basically alfred search seems to find some files and folders, but not others, in my onedrive. Very frustrating

i have just bought a new mac - i would like to change the hotkey to activate alfred to 2 strikes of the function (fn) key (bottom left on my keyboard)....this was what i used on my last computer, and i have a similar hotkey to bring up an app launcher on my windows computer at work the new mac seems to not allow me to use this hotkey - is there any way you can help?
