bbq Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 (edited) Hi, when using "define" command, I was getting results even though I had some spelling typos and I used it to find correct spelling, for example I typed "define uneceseary" or something like that, but I still got "unnecessary" as result and could copy it. But since some time ago (not sure when it started), I'm getting almost no results, only when I correctly spell the word. Alfred version: Alfred 4.1.1 Pre-release, Build 1170 macOS version: Mojave 10.14.6 Maybe it's because something in this pre-release build, can I somehow easily donwgrade to stable version? Thanks.

Vero Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 @bbq Welcome to the forum You're looking for the "spell" keyword to spellcheck words, e.g. "spell uneceseary", which will suggest the correct spelling. Cheers, Vero Link to comment
bbq Posted August 16, 2020 Author Share Posted August 16, 2020 Thank you for welcoming I should have said that I only ever used "define" and almost even didn't know about "spell" keyword But when trying to fix this issue, I tried "spell" as well to no avail: It always used to work with "define" and it still does on my other (home) computer: When I type only few letters on office computer, it shows some results, but not as many as home computer. Office: Home: On both computers I have the same dictionaries added in the same order and equal settings in Alfred's Dictionary features. Only difference seems to be that at home I have "Alfred 4.1 Build 1167" and in office it's "Alfred 4.1.1 Pre-release, Build 1170" Can it be some issue with pre-release version? Thanks.

Andrew Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 @bbq Could you check the language you have set is the same in Alfred's Features > Dictionary preferences. Also, you can quit Alfred and re-download the 4.1 build directly from Alfred's homepage, and simply replace the Alfred.app bundle in /Applications/. If you do this, let me know if the behaviour stays the same Link to comment
bbq Posted August 18, 2020 Author Share Posted August 18, 2020 @Andrew This is my settings (same on both computers): I also have same language & region system preferences set and same dictionaries set in Dictionary app. I redownloaded version 4.1, but it didn't help Link to comment
Andrew Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 @bbq Have you checked your macOS Language & Region settings in the macOS System Preferences? Alfred is given the words and definitions to show by macOS, he doesn't maintain his own dictionary. I'm moving this to the Discussion and Help section to see if anybody may have an idea why macOS isn't suggesting more words. Cheers, Andrew Link to comment
bbq Posted August 20, 2020 Author Share Posted August 20, 2020 @Andrew Attaching my Language & Region settings + dictionaries in Dictionary app (+ Wikipedia is selected at the very top of list) and I have exactly the same configuration on home computer. I also today updated to latest beta build at home to match work computer and everything works fine. But work computer is still "broken" Link to comment
