I've madly spent the last 40 minutes reading help/tutorials for Alfred Workflows but I'm not getting it and I'm dumbstruck that everybody else seems fine.
What I want:
- I downloaded the excelent "Sleep Display" workflow (http://blog.wwwjfy.net/2011/11/01/alfred-extensions-sleep-display/) and double-clicked to add it into Alfred
- it is configured to use a Hotkey as trigger (disabled for safety when the workflow was installed)
- but I'd like it to be triggered when I type some text into the Alfred search box, in the same way that "sleep" or "emptytrash" are built into Alfred
- so after some searching I've concluded that this must be the Fallback Search trigger (no other seems remotely appropriate)
- but no matter what I set as the title or subtext of the Fallback Workflow, it is not shown/
Example here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/u33ahxifmth9irq/Screenshot%202013-10-23%2016.38.21.png
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks David, now everything works as expected! I will add that linking the boxes together in the workflow editor I found intuitive and without problems, however the descriptions and functionality of various different triggers and actions I found very confusing and assuming a lot of knowledge that I didn't have. I'm still confused why a Fallback Search trigger somehow applies only to Contact results (or at least another help post here seemed to indicate that).
But now I have all I need and somebody else can preach the usability to you
