Hello,
Both Alfred and Spotlight no longer show any other app than Apple's own.
I have tried to re-index (via MacPilot, via Terminal, via Privacy pref's), clear Alfred's cache, tried the rebuild MacOS metadata, used the 'reload' command, ticked the box for MacOS application folder, added custom paths (applications, utilities), did a permission check, verified with Disk Utility. All to no avail.
My system runs on Catalina v10.15 and Alfred is on v4.0.5. At first, right after the upgrade to the latest versions, Alfred and Spotlight ran as expected. However, Spotlight did no longer provide any results within Outlook. I am now in an escalated support cycle with Microsoft, which has me rebuilding profiles, re-indexing Spotlight and verifying permissions etc. Since the last re-index/rebuild session, both Spotlight and Alfred no longer show any app's other than Apple's own.
FYI: Spotlight also no longer gives me any search results other than its own database/index information (Dictionary, Reminders, Calendar, Notes, Messages). I used to see OLK15Messages (the Outlook mail message type), now I only get Apple Mail results.
Is this a known issue, something logically related to a known issue, or am I just looking at a unique situation?
It seems to me that Apple has increased restrictions (just like it is no longer possible to have 3rd party app's access mail, calendar and reminders items) and locked up locations.
Can you help me out?
Thanks.
Dansmans.
