If typing too fast, Alfred can't find any results after I type a space [Fixed 3.7 b931 pre-release]

[Gary King]

If I'm typing too fast during a File Filter search, and I type a space, then Alfred can't find any results. Only when I start typing letters again will it find results. I don't have a problem if I type too slowly.

@Gary King this isn't usual Alfred behaviour - the first place to start when seeing things like this is the troubleshooting guide:

 

https://www.alfredapp.com/help/troubleshooting/indexing/ (specifically no.4, the reindexing).

 

Also, does this happen with the default file search too on your Mac?

 

Cheers,

@Gary King Hmm, I've been playing with this for the past little while and I can actually reproduce this issue, very interesting! I'll take a look at it in the morning.

 

Cheers,

@Gary King I've identified why this could happen, and will have it fixed in the next pre-release

Great thanks! Was it a weird extreme edge case or something?

@Gary King It actually came about after a fix I made to work around a High Sierra bug to do with how Alfred dealt with the max / min number of file search results to process. Thanks for spotting this!

@Gary King if you update to the Alfred 3.7 b931 pre-release, this should now be fixed
