Ugh sorry everyone I see that similar issues are being discussed by others. I obviously didn't look hard enough. Still if there are any quick tips or links to specific forum posts I'd appreciate it. I'm using 3.5.1 (883) on OS X High Sierra 10.13.1

Hi everyone, Sometimes there is a file I use a lot and I love it when I can get to it in a few key-presses with Alfred. This happens after I find it once and then open it a few times, so I assume Alfred has some way of ordering search results by use, which is the main reason I use Alfred (side questions: am I right about this, and if so, is the algorithm documented somewhere?). The issue I am running into is that after the latest mac update all that information seems to have been lost, and I want to find a way to make files show up again in Alfred search. This is usually easy, but sometimes there is a file that it is not listed anywhere in the Alfred search results, even though I know the file to be in the search scope, as if there is some limit as to how much Alfred will display. Is there a way to either expand how many items are displayed, or to force something to be the first item displayed? Actually if there is a direct way to just force something to show up at the top of a file search that would be ideal. I suspect this has been discussed before and I did look around, but it was one of those cases where I wasn't even sure what the right search phrase would be to find this information. I did find this which helped https://www.alfredapp.com/help/troubleshooting/indexing/ Apologies if I'm overlooking some existing docs or discussion here on the forum. If so a link would be great. Thanks, - Jeff

Yes, this works great! Thanks

Thanks! I've installed it and updated ff.py, and I am working on figuring it out now.

Thanks very much! But no way to use the _path information_ as part of the search? E.g. "Papers" or "Medieval"?

Just bumping this. Even knowing this is not supported and there are no plans for support would help.

Hi there, Is there a way in Alfred to search using path information? For example, if I want to find this file /Documents/Papers/MedievalBasketWeaving/NinnyNumnuts_2009.pdf I'd like to search using things like "Medieval Ninny" or "Basket 2009". This is how "goto anything" seems to work in Sublimetext, and I find it pretty useful. Thanks for any help and hope I didn't overlook something already in the forum - Jeff
