Unfortunately i continue to have issue searching in my network shared folder. Yes i receive issue ONLY on the network results. I've done as you said (hope it's correct, i've sent a private message, may you please check that?) BUT it not always works, sometime yes, sometime no. It's really odd! Btw i've to leave in general preference panel the options as default ?

Anyone can help me ?

I'm struggling to make Alfred search (only) in a network shared folder in Yosemite. Sometimes Alfred works and sometime no (from client). The odd is that ONLY Alfred search from client on server (shared folder). Spotlight on client not search on server. You've executed this command on server or on client ? I've tried on client all these commands, with no improvements ...

Hi Vero, not always. Sometimes slow and sometimes fast (as usual). To be truth i've only that shared folder in my search scope in Features > Default Results. I've now reset (and added also local default folders) and search in local folders is instantaneous.

Hi Vero, thanks for the reply and support. Yes, i've done as you said (and re-done). Unfortunately it not solve the issue. I'm still astonished: why Alfred usually works properly searching on a network shared folder, while Spotlight no ? Why now Alfred works so sloooowly and not always .... ? Any more help, please ? I love your app ...

After last update Alfred takes tons of times to search (and sometimes not search at all and i've to delete some characters to make the search run). How can i solve ? I've cleared application cache, rebuilt os x metadata without success. I use (see my other posts) Alfred to search on a network shared folder (and i've to admit that spotlight NOT search in that folder) WHILE Alfred (at least in previous build) searches ok in that folder.

I receive this error: Fabrizio:~ Fabrizio$ sudo mdutil -E -i on /Volumes/Studio Password: /Volumes/Studio: Error: unable to perform operation. (-403) Server search enabled. Just wonder: WHY Alfred works and Spotlight no ? If Alfred relies on Spotlight is it strange Spotlight not works, isn't it ? I'm confused ...

An update for this old topic. I'm now on Yosemite (server and client edition). And have Spotlight that not search on Network shared folder while Alfred yes. How is possible ??? Here's the thread of this complain (i report also here my issue): I've a Mac Mini Server (Yosemite server) where is located the folder: 'Studio'. This folder is shared in the same network. I've a Client iMac (Yosemite) that access to that folder 'Studio' located on server. Spotlight on Server is able to search in that folder. Spotlight on Client is NOT able to search in that folder. I've run on Client terminal: sudo mdutil -E /Volumes/Studio And have this error: /Volumes/Studio: 2015-02-14 11:53:22.017 mdutil[4611:159875] mdutil disabling Spotlight: /Volumes/Studio -> kMDConfigSearchLevelOff Error: unable to perform operation. (-403) Server search enabled. Alfred on iMac clients works ... It's really odd, isn't it ? Alfred not relies on Spotlight ? How is possible that Alfred works and Spotlight no ???

I've an update, after reading this post. http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/5135-yosemite-spotlight-server-is-disabled/ but the odd is (as said also there) now Alfred works ok but spolight (on the same iMac client where Alfred is running) not works on server. How is it possible ? Alfred not relies on Spotlight index ???

It's odd but on previous version all works fine. Now it seems to not 'catch' properly the shared server folder. I'm the only one experimenting this issue ? Btw i've tried this link to force indexing shared network folder http://www.lucidica.com/help/73/

Hi Andrew, thanks for the reply. How to setup Spotlight to find files/folders on the network drive ? I use Yosemite (last versions available) Client and Server.

Hi, after the release of the new build 2.6 i'm experimenting tons of issue in searching on a network drive (server). I've reset cache, delete - add the server folder but the issue is still there. Any help ? Thanks

I understand your point of view. But, please, take a look at http://crowdin.net 1 Password Team for example uses that service to translate their great app (4 version). It's an incredible and simple tool that helps a lot developers and not interfere or slow down developer work. As said take a look please at that and rethink about it I'm here to translate your invaluable app in italian ...

I've executed from various Client sudo mdutil -E -i on /Volumes/[name]/ and now it works, again, like a charm sorry for the ... confusion

Normal prompt. The good news is that now the spotlight it's enabled and is indexing again (on server). The bad new / question: how to enable from other client mac to catch the indexing on server ? It should be automatic ?

It's odd but it seems to be the same issue of mine. http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/3482-211-not-search-anymore/ Or not ? And as reported here also by Keric the issue is appeared from last official update ...

Now after inserting the correct password i receive this message: server - (my name)$ what else ?

It says indexing disabled. It's really odd ... how to re-enabled it ? I've tried with: sudo mdutil -a -i on But i receive after password inserted this message: Error: invalid operation. Error: unknown indexing state.

How to 'force' spotlight to search for network drive ? In Alfred i 'insert' the whole network drive and it worked (before last official build).

Yes i know that loooong post at Apple Support board. But, as said, before 2.1.1 it works like a charm. Now ... no !

I've just installed Alfred 2.1.1 and now all my search (i've mavericks and use search in a network shared folder) are totally broken. Seems a bug cause on multiple iMac after update Alfred is becoming totally unuseful. The network shared network is connected. I've tried to clean Application cache and Rebuild OS X Metadata but the issue is still there ... Any help, please ? Thanks

Great it works like a charm, thanks a lot !

I'd like to search for my iCal calendar. In Alfred 1 i've done it as represented in the pic in attach. Frankly i don't remember how to add com.apple.ica.ics.event I've added only ICS File but the search not works. Any help would be highly appreciated.

Great ! Any chance to move automagically filters from Alfred 1 > Alfred 2 automagically or in a simple way ?

Hi, any chance to have clipboards on 2 (or more) Macs synced through Dropbox ? It would be a killer feature ...
