Interesting.  I'm not much of a tech person but maybe I played around with it at some point...

Thanks for the hints!

Typing "news {subject}" doesn't seem to work with Google News any more.  Has something changed?

I can confirm this issue. I upgraded from v1 to v2 today. No bookmarks in the results. i've followed the above steps with no improvement. There is some claim that exporting and reimporting bookmarks fixes it - but I find that to be a work around to a bug that needs fixin'.  

I am the one who had the previous problem with Safari bookmarks and solved it by saving the bookmarks to a file, deleting the existing bookmarks, then reimporting them.  Previous to this, the bookmarks weren't even showing up in Spotlight.  Now they show up in both Spotlight and Alfred.  I can't explain why this worked but it did.

I just tried this and it works for me.  

First, thank you David for your help and sorry for the delay.

For my part the issue is solved.

 

Indigo did you try to untick and tick again this checkbox?

Did you try to add a new bookmark on Safari and search for it on Alfred…

 

Ensure that you are using the latest verion…

I think I got my bookmarks problem resolved.  I noticed that Alfred would find new bookmarks, just not old ones.  I tried exporting my bookmarks to a file, deleting the ones I had, then reimporting them.  That seems to have fixed my problem, for whatever reason.

Must be something with your browser/browser settings. Everybody I asked automatically downloaded the .alfredappearance files and not a txt 

(which is really strange, because the files on my Dropbox are the .alfredappearance files

I can't explain it.  I am using Safari and I haven't done much to change the original settings as I am not very computer literate.  That's probably why it took me a while to realize I had to delete the "txt" ending.  It's not just your theme that downloads as a text file.  All the ones I have tried from different authors download that way too.

It took me a while to figure out that in order to get these files to open in Alfred that you need to delete "txt" and make them "alfredappearance" files.

The SH (Safari history) works fine but I can't get the SB (Safari bookmarks) to work.  It just defaults to the fallback results.

I have "Bookmarks - Safari" checked under Default Results and I am still not getting my bookmarks in the result.
