Find files in hidden folders


Recommended Posts

One of the most common actions in the alfred prompt for me is typing "f [start of filename]" to reveal a file in the finder.

 

But this doesn't work for files in hidden folders. Like all my .xyz folders in my home directory for instance. How can I change this so all those folders become searchable as well?

Alfred uses Spotlight’s indexing, which seemingly excludes those. It would be possible to make a Workflow to search hidden files but it would be slower so it would be best to first define exactly what it needs to search for (e.g. only home directory?).
