sepulchra Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 I'm also using alfred file search to search the contents of a specific folder with a number of WAV files and mp3 files. I'm often searching for files names but fuzzy matching and instead of showing me filenames in the results, I'm shown metadata or id3 tags. If I use the the search via the finder as well the results are the same. If there a way to restrict the results to file names so I'm not show metadata of the files in my search results? Thanks!

sepulchra Posted July 8, 2022 Author Share Posted July 8, 2022 I just wanted to round back here with more info. In the finder if you search, one has the option of restricting the file search to just filename and not everything. Is there a way to restrict alfred to just the filename in a custom search so it does not search file metadata like id3 tags? Thanks! Link to comment
vitor Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 I don’t have any tagged music files to verify, but try with File Filter Input set to only check for the kMDItemDisplayName field. Link to comment
