Does this workflow still work on Alfred3? Link is broken. Would love to get a copy! Thanks!

A perfect scenario! Or you're on the phone with someone and you need certain "right darn now"! If you specify the root folder (/) as the inclusion directory, it doesn't pick up all subfolders by default. Andrew, what file inclusion list can we use that will include all files types and absolutely everything that's in Spotlight? I'd rather start there and then optimize down if those results are too much to deal with. But computers are so fast now that I don't see how searching the complete library would matter.

Long time power user of Alfred... makes life so much easier! One thing that bugs me is that many times Alfred doesn't find a file, but spotlight does. Doesn't matter how much I tweak with the settings, Alfred just won't show the file. Happens on both name and contents searches. So, isn't it a general truth that anything that's in the spotlight index should be found by Alfred? If there are differences, coudl you please spell them out (feel free get down to the metadata tag level)? Today I searched for "in bespoke", knowing that this word appeared in some text I was seeking. Alfred found 2 results. Spotlight found several hits. Some were located in excluded folders, like Applications. So that's fine. But others, including an Evernote document and a couple of other files, just simply didn't appear as options in Alfred. No clue why. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this? I've noticed this across computers, across Alfred versions, OSs, etc.
