"monitor" could not find "Activity Monitor.app" in alfred 4

[georgexsh 0]

in alfred 3, I remember that I could use "monitor" to find and launch "Activity Monitor.app", but in afred 4, this doesn't work.

however, I could still use "activity" to find it.

ps: in my locale, the display name is "活动监视器.app"

In Alfred 4, the metadata used to match applications has changed due to keyword spamming by lots of apps on the App Store. I don't know if this specifically covers (non-)localised names, but could you try turning on the "Match Application's keywords in default results" option in Alfred Preferences > General > Default Results?

Afraid I don’t know then. I’m sure @Vero can help.

@georgexsh Could you please download the Alfred Metadata Tool and drag an app you can't find in Alfred to it? Paste the output in your email reply so that we can take a look at what metadata macOS is providing for this app.

 

Here is the Metadata tool:
