akivaatwood Posted November 4, 2019 Author Share Posted November 4, 2019 (edited) Turning off SIP solved the problem Not an optimal solution though Edited November 4, 2019 by akivaatwood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vitor Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Welcome @akivaatwood, Have you tried the troubleshooting steps? Quote First, ensure you're using Alfred 4.0.4+ Next, go to Features > Default Results > Search Scope and click "Reset" to refresh the search scope. Finally, type "reload" into Alfred to refresh the application cache Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfdukester Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 (edited) I have tried all of these options - nothing works - only thing that I can get to show up in Alfred (using build 1124 v 4.0.6) are contacts. Even when I type in Calculator or Dictionary they don't show up. I have reset/reloaded several times and nothing. This is one of the functionalities I like in Alfred and would like to know how to resolve.

Vero Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 @sfdukester Have you rebuilt your Mac's index by going to Alfred's Advanced preferences > Rebuild macOS Metadata? Once that process completes (it can take up to an hour), type "reload" into Alfred to refresh the application cache. Cheers, Vero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfdukester Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 @vero Thanks - however when I try this - the iTerm session, after putting in my password, I get the following: Requesting metadata reindex... /: Error: Index is already changing state. Please try again in a moment. You can see the progress of the reindexing by performing a search in Spotlight Press any key to finish... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfdukester Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 (edited) @VeroI did an uninstall and fresh install of Alfred4 with no resolution. I ran the Re-index and now I'm getting this error: Error: unable to perform operation. (-400) Error: unknown indexing state. PLEASE help me get this resolved.

Andrew Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 @sfdukester this error is coming from macOS, not Alfred (More specifically, coming from the macOS Metadata Server). I've had a quick look on Google for the -400 error and it leads me to this page: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/368054/spotlight-doesnt-show-applications The top response on that page is a more thorough version of what Alfred's script is doing anyway, so should likely help you out!
