Alfred not finding OmniOutliner or DEVONthink files

[rogbar]

I just installed Alfred, which I quite like, but in testing the search function it does not find text in OmniOutliner or DEVONthink files.

 

In Preferences/Default Results/Search Scope I've added the folders where the OmniOutliner files and DEVONthink databases are. Spotlight finds them ... what do I have to do to get Alfred to find them?

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

@rogbar Could you please let me know how you're searching for these files?

 

I don't personally use either of those apps, but it's my understanding that they're the kind of apps where you might have a ton of files, right? If so, it might be worth creating your own File Filter for those. Here's a guide to creating a File Filter workflow, which can then be adjusted for your own file types:

Alternatively, if you want these results in default results (which, if there are a lot of files, isn't recommended as it may clutter your results), you would also need to add the file types to Features > Default Results > Advanced for the file types at the top.

 

Let me know how you get on
