jlb Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I am a 'new' user. I want to find a program to run. For example 'Firefox'. Alfred comes up with search options and not the program itself. I have tried 'run <program name> and open <program name> but no luck. I need some help to point me in the right direction. Thanks. Link to comment
deanishe Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 (edited) Normally you’d just type “Firefox” into Alfred (no keywords) and it should appear. Does Spotlight find Firefox? Is your /Applications directory in Alfred’s default search scope? Edited June 5, 2019 by deanishe Link to comment
jlb Posted June 5, 2019 Author Share Posted June 5, 2019 Spotlight does not access the file either. /Applications is in the default search scope (I think). Link to comment

jlb Posted June 5, 2019 Author Share Posted June 5, 2019 ok - the metadata index is doing its thing. Should be finished soon I think. Link to comment
