Hi,
 
Been using Alfred for a while and since yesterday I can't seem to start it. 
Whenever I do it get's frozen.
 
I think it started following a recent update but can't say for sure.
 
I've taken a sample from "Activity Monitor" incase it helps.

For more context - I'm on Big Sur 11.2.1
 
UPDATE - It eventually unfroze but it took a few good minutes

This is now corrected in the 4.0.8 b1133 pre-release

That is the expected behaviour. I suppose it's a bit confusing nowadays, as Spotlight now does other things than search files, but historically Finder's search and Spotlight were basically the same thing.
 
The name should probably be changed to "Search for ‘xyz’ in Finder".

@tillus Dean is correct here. I'll update the wording to correct this.

As Andrew explained above, searching with ' only searches filenames, and searching with in only searches file content. So, you should be using in edge to search file contents for "edge".

Here is my own custom version : https://github.com/lucianosantana/EggTimer2  (based on the updated version for Alfred 3 by @ianhowson)

For the issues with the notification I had to change the notify_functions.sh .
I've completely erased the original and added the following : 
notify () { if [ "$5" = alarm ]; then nc_icon="$PWD/resources/icon_alarm.icns" else nc_icon="$PWD/resources/icon.icns" fi osascript <<EOD set img to POSIX file "$nc_icon" display dialog "$3\n$4" with title "$1" with icon img buttons {"OK"} EOD } I'm using AppleScript to display a Dialog (not a notification). This way the message sticks on the screen until I interact with it and I don't loose the reminder if I'm temporarily away.
I also had to invert the order of execution of the sound and alert. Originally it executes the notification then the sound. But changing the notification to dialog blocks the script execution, therefore the sounds executes after user interaction. To solve this issue just search for 
afplay sounds/alarm_done.mp3 & in the files timer_alarm.sh , timer_auto.sh and timer.sh . Then move it just before the notify command.

Might be helpful for you @Basket and @Dzier .
 
 

the `recent` option seems broken for me, even in the version @Russell Davis provided, on macOS 10.14 Mojave. I can't see the alarms I'm setting after typing `recent`, it says there are no alarms or timers set. 
Does anybody else have the same problem?
