Ok, could be a way, but sorry, this is not really comfortable. You should be able to set the filetype afterwards, not at the beginning. Let's say, you are looking for something and after you started typing you see plenty of different filetypes which contain your term, so instead of limit the results to a specific filetype you have start a new search beginning with a workflow I'm really astonished, I can't do some basic stuff like this with Alfred

Hi dfay, applying your tip with kMDItemTextContent I am finally able to find the relevant files . Thanks for the help. Nevertheless, it still means to have one workflow per filetype. @Vero I added my Powerpack email address in my forum profile since I'm happy to hear about other possibilities dealing with this.

Thanks for your reply, I checked it and reproduced it on my own machine but by using such filters I am not able to look for the contents of a file. Apart from that, this would mean I have to create an individual workflow for every filetype I am possibly will be looking for? Alfred seems to be such a powerful tool, there has to be an easier way (hopefully) …

I'm an excited Alfred user, but sometimes I do not get the results I'm actually looking for. Lets say, I want to find all Pages documents which include "lorem ipsum". I can start a search with "in lorem ipsum" but then I get all kind of filetypes. It is simple done with spotlight with "lorem ipsum kind:pages", so I can't imagine I'm not able to perform a similar search with Alfred. Any suggestions?
