Sounded great in theory - so I tried it. Maybe it worked for someone else, but failed in epic proportions for me. The Mac became totally unresponsive. I mean totally. Had to reboot. Now, for over 24 hours, it's stuck on indexing. Alfred hangs completely. I've added and removed items from the privacy tab, hoping to help Spotlight, but it's still sitting at Estimating Index time - and that's just for the 256GB SSD. I had to go in and add the entire HD to the privacy tab and remove it just so I could see all my documents in finder again. I have no idea how long it thinks it's going to run, but I'm now Googling solutions to fix this as now the network drive has unmounted and refuses to remount, indexing is stuck at calculating time, and the machine is dog slow. Might need to go back to CCC and Time Machine. I really, really don't recommend this method. Lesson learned, I suppose? I was probably better off opening finder, tabbing, typing in what I want to search for and going with that.

I know I can't be the only one who would LOVE to use Alfred to find files on a network volume. Spotlight can't search my Synology device. Currently, my workaround is to open Finder, then type in the name of the file I'm looking for. The nerd in me says there has to be a way to use all-powerful Alfred. Could someone point me to the right post/thread, or work flow? Thanks so much in advance.

Perfect! Thank you so much!

Anyone have a workflow that allows a user to input favorite URLs? For instance, I have a few sites I frequent. I don't want them to become overwritten (think Dave F's Faves workflow, but for websites. Thanks so much in advance!
