[solved] How to exclude /usr/local/Cellar in search scope

[kddt]

Greeting, 

 

I'm a bit shamed and afraid to ask this basic question, but I seriously can't understand `How to exclude /usr/local/Cellar in search scope`.

I searched the way, and found  `You can also add files/folders to System Preferences > Spotlight > Privacy to ignore it.` . 

I can't understand this way clearly.

 

Anybody teach me to understand how I can do it in detail?

With some picture, that's so nice to me

Hi @kddt, welcome to the forum.

 

Open System Preferences. Go to the Spotlight pane, and then the Privacy tab. Then drag the folder into that list.

Don’t be. We’re a friendly bunch and are particularly sympathetic to users who really want to learn.

 

In addition to the solution posted by @deanishe, that works for anything on your system, for this particular directory you can also go into Alfred Preferences → Features → Default Results and look at the Search Scopes window, look for /usr/local/Cellar, click on it and press ⌫.

Thanks you and I completely understand it.

The point is really helpful, because I had never thought the delete key works here somehow. 

 

I appreciate it.
