octothorpe Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I was just trying to search for a file in my iCloud Drive, and Alfred won't turn it up -- but Spotlight will. It might be a one-off issue, as other iCloud Drive-based files and folders seem to be showing up ok. When I put in the file name in Spotlight, it turns up: ...and when I search for it in Alfred, I see nothing but my default Internet search options: (also, no idea why the type in this screenshot looks weird — it's normal in reality).

octothorpe Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) Just noticed that in the Spotlight result I put in above, the file I'm searching for seems to also retain its original default screenshot name. When I search Alfred for part of that name, it comes up, and shows the new name too. Weird! Edited March 13, 2018 by octothorpe Link to comment
vitor Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Alfred Preferences → Features → Default Results → Search Scope. Check if ~/Library/Mobile Documents is present. If it’s not, add it. Link to comment

As I said, other files in iCloud Drive are showing, but this one isn't and I think it's related to the fact that I renamed it. Link to comment
vitor Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Try Alfred Preferences → Advanced → Rebuild macOS Metadata. Link to comment
octothorpe Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 Will try that, thanks! Link to comment
