Thanks very much for the super clear bug report too!

No problem at all! I was thrilled to see support already there, so thanks for being so responsive to new techs!

Per https://github.com/caskroom/homebrew-cask/issues/8052#issuecomment-69518811, looks like paths to homebrew's staging directories were added to 2.6.

Strangely, on a fresh install, they aren't shown--until you hit the "Reset" button by Search Scope, and then they're inserted.

The following screenshots are with no sync directory, and starting Alfred immediately after deleting ~/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2:

Post-reset:

Note the additional /usr/local/Cellar and /opt/homebrew-cask/Caskroom paths after resetting. My best guess is that a "default" prefs file is written that doesn't include the late adds of the paths.

Distilled Bug Report

1. Install Alfred 2 (I used brew cask to install, but it shows on any "new" prefs file).

2. Ensure that Alfred 2 is not running

3. Ensure that no ~/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2 directory exists, or that default exists

4. Start Alfred 2

5. Navigate to Features

Expected: homebrew-related paths in search scope

Actual: no homebrew-related paths

6. Press "Reset"

Expected=Actual: homebrew-related paths appear

7. Close Alfred 2 completely

8. Delete ~/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2

9. Re-open Alfred 2

10. Note that behavior recurs, as in step 5 forward, and scope again omits homebrew.
