Hello Vero,

Thank you for your advice, but I didn't create a File Filter workflow.
Instead, I went to Mac System Preferences / Siri Spotlight / Spotlight Privacy / add and remove the internal and external drives,

and it worked!

Thank you for your help 😃

I did it twice.

I can find most of the files on my main hard drive with Alfred and Spotlight,

but not the one on my external drives.

Thank you for your quick reply.
I already did the step 5. 6. 7.

but I dot it again now.

Hello,

Recently, I noticed that Alfred couldn't find some files, but Spotlight could.
I run the Help > Troubleshooting > File Search Troubleshooting > Run Troubleshooting...

and it failded❌

I did Features > Default Results > Search Scope

without success.

Alfred could find some applications but not many files, even some on my desktop.

Deep reindexed my Mac, and now even Spotlight isn't working.

I noticed that Alfred will find a file I opened with the FInder.

What can I do?

Thank you for your help 😃

That's solved it.

I choose Mounts in /Volumes and it great now😃

Thank you very much

Hello,

I noticed that Alfred doesn't include SD card with the command eject.
It finds my hard drive but not the SD card on my MacBook Pro 2021 M1 Max.

I use macOS Ventura 13.4 and Alfred 5.1.1

Best,

Hello,

My bad, I didn't deleted the Alfred 4 after instating Alfred 5,

and when I restarted my computer Alfred 4 was starting as it was set on the 

MacOs User Group Login Item

Best,
