Alfred cannot return a result for Keychain Access

[emilylynchfries]

I use Alfred on a daily basis to open the Keychain Access app on my Mac. I just updated to Big Sur yesterday, and now Alfred will not return a result for Keychain Access. I double checked that Alfred was up to date. I also checked that Alfred had all the required permissions needed in System Preferences. Just to triple check I also turn on "unintelligent search all file types." 

 

It looks like Alfred is now only returning search results for third party apps I've downloaded to my computer. It will not return results for any app that comes natively on a Mac. i.e. It will search Microsoft Word, Powerpoint, Ringcentral, etc. But it will not return a result for Keychain Access, Music, Photos, Calendar, Preview, etc. 

 

Please help!

Hi, @emilylynchfries, welcome to the forum.

 

What is the "o" in your screenshot? I wouldn't expect Keychain Access to match the query "o Keychain Access".

[emilylynchfries]

"o" is Open. I just changed my shortcut preferences. See my preferences below:

Okay. What happens when you type only “Keychain Access” into Alfred without your keyword? Does Alfred find it then?

[emilylynchfries]

No. It does not return any results.

Have you followed the Troubleshooting Guide?

I figured it out! Somehow while installing Big Sur, my Alfred app defaulted back to Alfred 1. Not Alfred 4! How bizarre. So I deleted Alfred 1 and reinstalled Alfred 4. that solved the issue.
