I guess I could add the Cellar folder, assuming Alfred only picks up the apps.

At this point, I only need it to find homebrew apps, so I'll take a look at homebrew-cask.

In the end, I'd still prefer that Alfred natively handle the links.

Thanks!

Yes. This is not a bug, you just haven’t turned the feature on.

 

Go to to Preferences → Default Results → Advanced…. Drag and drop the link to the app on the small window that appears (it should say “com.apple.alias-file”) and press Close. Add ~/Applications to your Search Scope, on that same window, and you’re done.

When I follow these instructions, I get a type of "public.symlink" with a description of "symbolic link" and Alfred still doesn't find it in the search.

The alternative of adding the path to every app seems overly tedious, especially since many of those paths are versioned and will change with updates (e.g. /usr/local/Cellar/macvim/7.3-66/MacVim.app).

Any chance of just getting Alfred to natively support links?
