  1. To perform a normal Spotlight search via Alfred, I remember from way back that it’s best to type a leading space before the search term (is this still the recommended way?). Leading space does bring up more results than if I omit the space. But it yields a different list than a Spotlight search. If I want normal Spotlight results, should I just call up a Spotlight search and leave Alfred out of it?
  2. I use Alfred's Web Search to search DuckDuckGo or Twitter for a given term, and have set up custom searches for some more obscure sites. Is there a way to set up more complex searches? E.g. search Yelp for "tacos" in "Miami" or search Google Translate for "emperor" in "Russian"?
  3. I have file search working on everything but Books, which live in a strange purgatorial space. Actual file path is: Library/Mobile Documents/iCloud~com~apple~iBooks/Documents/BOOKNAME.pdf But if you view a book document in Finder, it seems to appear in iCloud Drive/Books....even though there's no Books folder within the iCloud Drive folder. And this is normal. But while Alfred can find a file in that directory (if I enter the file name), it won't find it by its content text. Any advice?
  4. Note that Alfred DOES find apps (per normal, without a leading space).
  5. Longtime user. I upgraded to new computer, and Alfred can't find any files (it's been a week, and initial Spotlight indexing has finished) Attached are results searching in Spotlight and in Alfred (the latter prefaced by a space, per normal), plus my longtime Alfred file search prefs.
  6. I just tried again, and neither pa nor ps works. I just get normal Alfred behavior, with no regard to Pinboard. I deleted workflow and reinstalled (including API), and same result. Phelp doesn't do anything, either. I quit Alfred and relaunched, too....no improvement.
  7. Just installed and configured the Pinboard API Token. "pa" works, but "ps" always finds nothing. Any suggestions?
  8. Andrew, has anything been added in v.3 to either default to "pass through modifier keys", or to change a whole bunch of workflows to this in one swoop (not individually configure each one, one at a time)?
