Sometimes I need to do some unit conversions in Alfred, move focus away to another window or do something, and then go back to Alfred.
With spotlight, if you click outside the spotlight window, and then open spotlight again, the text you entered will still be there, selected if you want to type something different in.
With Alfred, it all goes away. I find it frustrating because I keep needing to copy and paste what I had written.
Could the spotlight-styles behavior be implemented instead?
