Multiple listings of apps in search results

[GrantL]

Why do I get multiple listings of apps in my search results?  What can I do to avoid getting such multiple listings?  I am using a 2019 MacBook Pro running macOS 12.4 (Monterey).

@GrantL Could you type "reload" into Alfred to refresh the app cache and let me know if the issue persists or goes away?

no change ...

@GrantL Do you have any idea why you have Preview.app in so many iCloud folder? It's not normal for the app to be replicated in numerous iCloud folders, for example your iCloud Documents folder and Freeagent folder. There's no reason for apps to be duplicated in these locations.  Are you doing any unusual /manual backups of your OS to iCloud?

 

At this point, these results are being returned to Alfred by macOS; You'll first need to establish why the Preview.app instances are in all of these locations.

 

Once you've worked this out, you can rebuild your Mac's index by following the indexing instructions here:

Thank you. No, at this stage I don’t know why Preview is popping up all over the place. I’ll find out and follow your advice to rebuild the index.
