Apps not appearing in Alfed or Spotlight

[SamX1962]

Hi all,

 

I have downgraded my 2015 MacBook Air as Catalina made it a cactus. Thankfully, the performance has returned however my Spotlight and Alfred both don't show up any app. I have disabled and enabled indexing thru System Perfereces and terminal as discussed on this page- same issues - https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/62715/applications-dont-show-up-in-spotlight

 

Any other ideas? I don't know much about Alfred or Spotlight tbh, TIA!

 

Cheers

Welcome @SamX1962,

 

You can try the troubleshooting steps, but keep in mind that Alfred uses Spotlight’s database, so if Spotlight can’t find something, neither can Alfred.

Wherever your issue lies, it’s happening before Alfred has any say in the matter.

Thanks, I should have mentioned I had already tried that article. Now I will refocus my investigation to Spotlight, cheers
