solved 'Microsoft Edge' not being indexed by Alfred?

[generalshran]

Dear Alfred,

 

I have recently installed Microsoft Edge on my MacBook but it is not being indexed at all by Alfred. I haven't seen anyone else report this issue. Is the problem with my Edge installation or is the problem with my Alfred? Would appreciate any help.

 

See below diagnostics:

Good chance the issue stems from there. Try rebuilding your metadata index. If that doesn’t work, take a look at the other tips on the page.

I sorted out the issue shortly after posting by restarting my computer. No idea what caused it in the first place. Sorry I didn't update here sooner.
