Vero Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Hi @houserenren Welcome to the forum Alfred relies on macOS to provide results for apps and files, and it looks like Microsoft apps may not be correctly indexed by macOS. - Try opening Spotlight's Preferences to the Privacy tab - Drag your Applications folder to it and wait 30 seconds. - Remove the Applications folder from the Privacy tab and wait another 30 seconds to allow macOS to reindex the folder - Type "reload" into Alfred and search again Let me know how you get on.
