Daniel Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 How can I exclude files/folders of ALFRED SEARCH in general?To be more precise, it´s not one certain folder but hundreds all in different locations.Therefore System Preferences > Spotlight > Privacy doesn´t work for me or any other Search Scope where certain folders are meant to be dropped into. They are just too many. They have similar names with little variations, so i`m wondering how and where to define excluding name-attributes. A little checkbox would help where i can fill in some name/text-attributes. LAUNCHBAR had that ....but as a new Alfred-user i couldn´t find something like it. Link to comment

You should be able to do something like this with filters Link to comment
Daniel Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 thank you for your kind answer. I´ll try it (again) with filters! Daniel Link to comment
