ClintB Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Alfred is "finding" a lot less than Spotlight. What setting(s) will improve Alfred's CTRL-SPACEBAR search results? Link to comment

Alfred is based around the idea of multiple, tightly-focussed searches. You're only supposed to include your most regularly-accessed stuff in its main search, and then create separate searches with File Filters for other kinds of stuff (e.g. a search just for images or a search for PDFs in ~/Documents). You can cram everything into Alfred’s default search (and don’t forget the in keyword to search the contents of files, not just their names), but you won't be getting the best out of it if you do.

ClintB Posted July 20, 2020 Author Share Posted July 20, 2020 Darn. I like the Alfred "experience and feel" for that feature. Thank you very much! Link to comment
