I was using inside files search to search for a markdown file and found something peculiar. The files I was searching for has phrases like "百万医疗险" and "保险" in it, and I could search for "百万" or "百万医疗" or "保险" and found the file. Yet once I searched for "百万医疗险" (with the keyword "in 百万医疗险")， the file could no longer be found. I checked with spotlight and the search worked just fine. The troubleshooting diagnostics is pasted below as is. ---- Starting Diagnostics...

Really love this theme and would love to download the dark&dark mode variant, but the links are broken stating that these files exceeded viewing limits

Hi, I use alfred constantly for quick calculations, and it'd be really useful if it remembers all the queries (not just 20 as currently allowed) somewhere so I can go back to them. I know I should probably turn to soulver for that, but alfred just feels so second-nature with the cmd+space combination. It doesn't have to be on by default (because of privacy concerns etc.), but I feel it may be an option many would turn on. Cheers, Jay

Right now when I try to launch an app, a trashed app also shows up as a match. Can I make it not happen? I haven't seem to find a way to exclude trash and trash only. All I have found is an option to include/exclude Home Folder.

Is this what you want?

This is the behavior on my Mac too. I believe you need to add China to you language(doesn't have to be the first or display language) and maybe set your region to China, so that the system would index filename's pinyin too. I know for sure that if your language setting is English, Contacts and iTunes won't index pinyin of anything, and from the screenshot above spotlight seems to work the same way. This feature is crucial for Chinese user, typing Chinese instead of just pinyin is woefully slow for quick search. For now I don't use Alfred for searching because of this, and make my own workflow ( where I translate Chinese app names to pinyin "keyword") so that I can even comfortably launch apps.
