solved [SOLVED] Alfred doesn't show Safari in search results

[johnnynoble]

Hi. Alfred no longer 'sees' Safari in the search results!

 

Until now,

[activate Alfred] + s

has learned that I want Safari as my top hit. As of this morning, Safari doesn't even appear in the list! Screenshot attached. It doesn't matter how far down I scroll, she's not there.

 

Typing 'sa' is enough to bring it up. I've tried doing that a bunch of times to trick Alfred in to recognising it, but no good. See second screenshot. This won't work for me – years of use has absolutely conditioned me to using 's' to activate Safari.

 

I'm on:

• Alfred v3.6.1
• macOS 10.13.5

 

I believe this came about after I un-checked Alfred Text Service in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Accessibility. I did this in service of diagnosing a non-Alfred bug. I forgot to re-check it, launched Alfred, it told me to check it, and I did.

 

And I'm not doing anything differently than I did this morning. I've quit and re-launched Alfred. I have not yet rebooted, I haven't had a moment. I'll see if I can do that after I submit this and reply if it had any effect.

 

Thanks,

j.

Update: reboot had no effect. ??

Update: reboot plus five minutes, and Safari has returned!

 

Very odd.

Marking as solved.

If it happens again check the Troubleshooting File Indexing Issues page. You might want to go ahead and run steps 4 and 5 anyway.
