New Computer, Alfred Can't Find Files

[Jimmbo]

Longtime user. I upgraded to new computer, and Alfred can't find any files (it's been a week, and initial Spotlight indexing has finished)

 

Attached are results searching in Spotlight and in Alfred (the latter prefaced by a space, per normal), plus my longtime Alfred file search prefs.

Note that Alfred DOES find apps (per normal, without a leading space).

Have you checked Troubleshooting File Indexing Issues? If you used Migration Assistant, the section on Monterey should be particularly relevant.

Ooh, perfect. Thanks, Vitor!

I have file search working on everything but Books, which live in a strange purgatorial space.

 

Actual file path is:

Library/Mobile Documents/iCloud~com~apple~iBooks/Documents/BOOKNAME.pdf

 

But if you view a book document in Finder, it seems to appear in iCloud Drive/Books....even though there's no Books folder within the iCloud Drive folder. And this is normal.

 

But while Alfred can find a file in that directory (if I enter the file name), it won't find it by its content text.

 

Any advice?

Does Spotlight?
