Since this is a Feature Request channel and not a support channel, I'm going to lean into the Request aspect of the original post. I really like Web Searches. I make a lot of them. I even overload them to give myself variations on a search to choose from. For example, when I search for a place, I can either
* Search my YouTrack board and have the results appear in a kanban, or
* Search YouTrack issues and have the results appear as a task list.
There's a lot that's the same: same keyword, same image, slight alteration of the URL, slight alteration of the Title. It would be great if I could duplicate all of that instead of having to manually recreate it.
Possible solutions:
Right click a Web Search row to Duplicate, or
Duplicate Search button next to Add Custom Search.
By the way, this would solve another problem, which is that novice users may find it difficult to build customer searches for lack of good examples. If a user could duplicate a built-in web search, they could see how they're built and modify them without breaking the original.
@Jeff_314 If you prefix your search with the spacebar (which broadens the file search), does the app appear in results?
Even when the information appears to be correct in the metadata, it can be beneficial to rebuild your index (and solves the vast majority of index-related issues)
To do this fully, please follow these steps carefully:
- Grant Terminal Full Disk Access
- Go to Alfred's Advanced preferences and click "Rebuild macOS Metadata"
- Check the box to delete Spotlight-V100
- Go through to Terminal, enter your password then keep a close eye for any error messages relating to the index
Once the process has completed, type "reload" into Alfred and try searching again. Let me know how you get on.
