Thanks for the reply, Andrew. Unfortunately, the issue persists after following your suggestion. What is the next step? What I've included below is just for anyone else in the future who finds this post from a search. ___ I had trouble rebuilding the index initially—I got this message in Terminal when I first attempted: rm: /.Spotlight-V100: Operation not permitted I discovered it's because macOS Mojave is quite strict about which apps have Full Disk Access. After I did the following, I was able to rebuild the index: System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy (Tab) > Full Disk Access > (Click "+" and add Terminal). So the good news is, I was able to rebuild the index after doing this. The bad news is, doing so did not solve my typing lag issue.

I'm currently on Alfred 4.0.2 [1088] (though this was also the case on Alfred 3). I get about half a second of lag when typing. Only the first letter of my query shows, and then a moment later the rest of what I typed appears. I read all of the posts about disabling blur. When I was on Alfred 3, I did that to no avail. I gave up on the issue when I saw that Alfred 4 was coming out, figuring it would probably be fixed. ow, I'm on Alfred 4, and the typing lag issue persists. Also, I do not see the same blur option to even try to see if disabling works. Any advice?

This works brilliantly! Thank you both so much for your help.

Hey forgetfulfellow, Thanks for your reply! The example number, "50" was hardcoded in there as follows: divided = 50 / goldenRatio multiplied = 50 * goldenRatio So I just swapped it to "input" so that it would work dynamically: divided = input / goldenRatio multiplied = input * goldenRatio This works great! However, what would be optimal is if the two answer numbers were visible upon typing "golden 50"(much like when you enter a basic math equation, such as "2+2", you see "4" immediately, with action to copy). This would be a lot more helpful as I could get a quick reference at a glance without having to copy to the clipboard if I don't need to. My photoshop is better than my coding, so maybe this will help give an idea of what I'm thinking: If it would be difficult to get both to show up like that, then having just the larger number only would still be nice. Actually, now that I think about it, entering "50" would produce 80.9... which, ideally would round up to "81" rather than truncate to "80". While I suppose it would be handy for some to have the number out to a couple decimal places, I'm really only needing the whole number for my purposes, as I'm dealing with pixels in my designs. Thanks for your efforts thus far!

I use golden ratios with considerable frequency when designing, and typically end up going to a website like this to calculate the two adjacent numbers (above and below). What would be fantastic is being able to type something like "golden 50" into Alfred and have results 1 and 2 be "81" and "31" respectively with "copy to clipboard" being the action. I'm not super knowledgeable with scripts, so any help is much appreciated!
