Mustafa Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 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. Link to comment
Andrew Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 @Mustafa take a look at this troubleshooting guide for file indexing: https://www.alfredapp.com/help/troubleshooting/indexing/ Link to comment
Mustafa Posted January 4, 2021 Author Share Posted January 4, 2021 @Andrew 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: Link to comment
Andrew Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 @Mustafa take a look at steps 3, 4 and 5 on this page which should likely fix your issues: https://www.alfredapp.com/help/troubleshooting/indexing/ Post the output of step 5 if it looks any different to what you see on the indexing page. Cheers, Andrew Link to comment
yet Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 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 Link to comment
Vero Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 @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, Vero Link to comment
Mustafa Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share Posted January 7, 2021 @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: Link to comment
Mustafa Posted January 9, 2021 Author Share Posted January 9, 2021 Hi, I just wanted to let you all know that I updated my Mac, and that seems to be the issue. It works now! Thank you so much for all your help, I am truly grateful. Link to comment
