Apps not showing

[Mustafa]

I have been a long-time Alfred user, so I was surprised when I tried to search up "Discord" on Alfred , and it didn't show. I tried uninstalling then reinstalling Alfred, but that didn't work either. I checked my preferences, and Alfred has full access to my disk, so I'm not sure why the only results seem to be Mac default apps, such as Safari, System Preferences, etc.

@Mustafa take a look at this troubleshooting guide for file indexing:

I checked that link, followed the instructions, and even reinstalled Discord. I also took a look at this guide, but that still didn't work. Here's the error I'm getting:

@Mustafa take a look at steps 3, 4 and 5 on this page which should likely fix your issues:

Post the output of step 5 if it looks any different to what you see on the indexing page.

I have the exact same issue with Big Sur. Checking Spotlight-V100 before reindex did not help.

Also Spotlight can not find the related files itself...so looks like a Big Sur issue

@yet @Mustafa Once you're in Terminal, can you please confirm whether it says "Indexing enabled"? Did you disable indexing on your Mac?

 

Also, ensure that in step 4, folders and drives are NOT in the Spotlight Privacy, as any content in this tab will not be indexed by macOS.

 

Cheers,

@AndrewHere is what I'm getting:

 

 

I suppose it has something to do with ".Spotlight-V100 folder not found" right? 

 

@VeroI do not have any folders or drives under Spotlight Privacy:
