I have a strong muscle memory of using Alfred daily for years and this whole time I've been accidentally trying to use it every day, so I can confirm that it wasn't working until yesterday. I also haven't touched any settings in spotlight or alfred itself since the creation of this post. Spotlight was working the whole time. I really have no idea what happened here. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ If it was the issue of indexing, it took over a week for my computer to resolve it.

After not working for this whole time, it just randomly fixed itself without me doing anything today. This is really bizarre and I have no idea what happened behind the scenes that made it work.

I'm using Alfred 4.0.9 [1144], which is the newest version available at the time of writing. My computer is running Catalina 10.15.4. Alfred is only finding apps located in /System/Applications/Utilities, but not other applications. Spotlight is enabled and finding all applications no problem. I've tried all steps from the troubleshooting guide to no avail. Specifically, - resetting search scopes and reloading - rebuilding all indexes using reindexdel.sh script I use Alfred on multiple computers with Catalina and this issue only exists on one of them. I really don't know what makes this current setup so special. Will take any recommendations and debugging steps needed.
