Search Not as Potent ...

[ClintB]

I have done something wrong. Alfred is not finding as many files as the Mac magnifying glass search..

 

I *know* Alfred is better than this - it works "better" on my older Mac.

 

SO - Which settings should I be looking for to "open" Alfred up to "see" more files?

@ClintB Might be worth taking a look at this guide to searching your Mac using Alfred to refresh your memory

If you think certain files that are in Alfred's scope aren't being found, take a look at the indexing troubleshooting guide:

For future reference (you’ll see it referenced if you look at the documentation or search for help in the forum), that’s called Spotlight.
