Perhaps one of the reasons people think it doesn't work (apart from the language thing) is that it can take a while to return results - as the search is triggered for each key press, they can 'queue' up and your finial search query can take a while to be performed. My inbox has several hundred thousand messages in from across many folders, from mailing lists etc. While limiting the search to not kick in until 3+ characters has improved the speed, it's still slugish. Does Alfred have anyway of 'delaying' the execution of the workflow script, for say a few hundred milliseconds (configurable on the workflow)? That way searching for messages from "Jo blogs", the search won't actually start until you've finished typing - unless you are a really slow typer - but the results will appear almost instantly. I can see other benefits of this - especially on the extensions that go off to other web based APIs.
