Help with default search

[Steve Ball]

I've just this morning upgraded from Alfred 4 to 5.

 

I noticed immediately that web search is broken. If I activate Alfred and type a web search term and hit enter nothing happens. If I precede the search text with a question mark and a space then Alfred opens a browser tab to perform a web search.

 

I do this a hundred times a day, so I'm reverting to Alfred 4.

 

If I activate Alfred and type "hello world", I see in the drop down one option that says, "Search Google for 'hello world'" with an enter key icon. But pressing Enter has the same effect as pressing Esc.

That behaviour is not normal, something is wonky in your setup. Temporarily create a new user account on your Mac, set up Alfred on it, and try again. Can you still reproduce it?
