Fuzzy search doesn't work well with file names with numbers


Recommended Posts

Let's say I have three files: "artwork 1.png", "artwork_1.png", and "artwork-1.png":

When I type "artw1", none of them shows up:

If I type "artwork1", only "artwork-1" shows up:

I'd expect all three are found in both cases. Is it possible to configure Alfred this way?

Alfred only supports fuzzy search for its default application & preference pane search (although many workflows support fuzzy search).

 

Have you tried "artw 1" or "artwork 1"?

 

Yeah "artw 1" and "artwork 1" do the job! I think it's good enough for me. But just for the purpose of learning, which workflows would you recommend?
