Thank you! I fixed my issue using the thread you posted. My file is now searchable.

Hi, the file name is Expenses 2021 and it is a .xslx document. I normally use my custom hotkey (cmd + spacebar) to open Alfred and then type "find or open" using the exact name Expenses 2021. I tried other keywords as well such as: 2021 Expenses Expenses 2021 Expenses 202 When I type the any of the words above every other file in the particular folder comes in the search box. Here is the troubleshoot data below: Starting Diagnostics... File: 'Expenses 2021.xlsx' Path: '/Users/Google Drive/Finances' ----------------------------------------------------------- Check file cache database... ✅ File cache integrity is ok ----------------------------------------------------------- Check if file is readable... ✅ Alfred has permissions to read this file. ----------------------------------------------------------- Check if volume '/' is indexed by macOS... ✅ Indexing is enabled on this drive ----------------------------------------------------------- Check direct file metadata... ⚠️ Direct metadata is missing, this file is likely not indexed by macOS Display Name: Other Names: Content Type: Last Used: ----------------------------------------------------------- Check mdls file metadata... ❌ macOS metadata missing essential items kMDItemFSContentChangeDate = (null) kMDItemFSCreationDate = (null) kMDItemFSCreatorCode = "" kMDItemFSFinderFlags = (null) kMDItemFSHasCustomIcon = (null) kMDItemFSInvisible = 0 kMDItemFSIsExtensionHidden = (null) kMDItemFSIsStationery = (null) kMDItemFSLabel = (null) kMDItemFSName = (null) kMDItemFSNodeCount = (null) kMDItemFSOwnerGroupID = (null) kMDItemFSOwnerUserID = (null) kMDItemFSSize = (null) kMDItemFSTypeCode = "" ----------------------------------------------------------- ❌ Troubleshooting failed Let me know if you need be to do anything else.

My issue is similar to this closed thread: https://www.alfredforum.com/topic/7278-alfred-not-finding-files-on-my-computer/ There is one file in particular that will not show up in my search. The files in the same folder are still searchable. I've followed the directions in help to go through the settings of Alfred in where it looks for files. Any ideas on troubleshooting further?
