I can not get indexing to create the file.

I am using an external drive as my boot drive and purchased Alfred thinking that I could accomplish what I could not get spotlight to do.  I can not start an app by opening Alfred and typing the name of the app.  The results in Alfed always come up with web search options.  How do I tell Alfred to use the external boot drive as the drive to search?  I have the applications directory from the external boot drive in the search parameter choices.  I also tried the root of the external drive and I can not find files that I know are on the desktop of the boot drive.  Perhaps its. a system setting?
