Radek Salomon Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 If I try to find contact card with non English letter for example "í", but type only "i", Alfred does not find the card. Spotlight works correctly and find the contact card. So it is not able to use Alfred in with Czech language. Link to comment
Andrew Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 @Radek Salomon This is a limitation of the macOS Address Book API Alfred uses. In the future, he'll be updated to use the Contacts API which will allow for diacritics. Alfred has an option (visible to Powerpack users) but off the top of my head, it is also available to non-Powerpack users if you edit the plist file in the following location: /Library/Application Support/Alfred/Alfred.alfredpreferences/preferences/features/defaultresults/prefs.plist The plist needs to include the showContactsUsingMetadata key set to true, as per below: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>showContactsUsingMetadata</key> <true/> </dict> </plist> If you have a Powerpack, this option is in Alfred's Preferences: Prefs > Features > Contacts > Advanced > Use Spotlight metadata for searching contacts Cheers, Andrew Link to comment
Radek Salomon Posted September 13, 2021 Author Share Posted September 13, 2021 Hi Andrew. Thanks for your post and guide. I tried it and it works now. I am new user and still thinking about Powerpack. This solution and knowledge, that diacritics works fine, move me close to Powerpack purchase :-). Take care. Radek Link to comment
