For anyone who hasn't done so yet, please rebuild your Mac's index properly, as this may be all that's needed, as seems to have been the case with some users.

 

Even if you believe you've already reindexed, please follow the steps below specifically (as it involves deleting a cache first and ensuring Terminal has suitable permissions).

• First, please pop open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Full Disk Access and add Terminal
• Once you've done this, go to Alfred's Advanced preferences, choose "Rebuild macOS Metadata"
• Ensure that you check "Delete .Spotlight-V100 before reindex"
• Follow the steps in Terminal, and keep a close eye for any error messages relating to your index.

Please let me know if there are any errors. Otherwise, if it proceeds smoothly, you may need to wait up to an hour for the reindex to complete. Once this is done, make your searches again and see if your results are more as expected.

 

Do let us know how you get on

This worked for me as well, thank you!

12.0.1 here as well which I believe was the release version and there hasn't been an update since. thanks.

@Vero I created a new user account and the search function worked properly. Last week I used time machine to upgrade from a 2017 MacBook Pro to a m1 MacBook Air. Everything else from the transfer seems to have worked perfectly though and spotlight appears to be completely functional.

I am having this exact same issue. Been using Alfred for probably 10 years and this is the first time I'm seeing this issue after having upgraded to Monterey. Please advise!
