Thanks @Vero!
I did that and that showed that the error is "macOS did not return a match for this file in your search scope.". The recommendation is to set the search scope to full disk. I tried that and that did resolve the issue. Great! I'm confused as to why though. Seems like it's something to do with macOS rather than Alfred? Is there a performance cost to having the scope set to the full disk?
