GatorMapi Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 When searching for files using Alfred one can use a space to search for a file. Is there a built in feature to narrow down a search by parameters such as kind, modified date, file size etc? I created a workflow that can search for PDFs but I have lots of files with similar file names. How do I narrow down the results similar to what can be done with Finder, but with using Alfred?

Vero Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 @GatorMapi Have you played with File Filters yet? You can either set a file filter with pre-defined options like file types, scopes, date range, etc... or you can use one where you set the scope dynamically if you often change location. Here's the Simple Folder Search, which is set to only search for the Folder type: https://alfred.app/workflows/alfredapp/simple-folder-search/ And the Dynamic File Filter, where you can choose a folder, then search within that scope only: https://alfred.app/workflows/alfredapp/dynamic-file-search/ You'll find more details about File Filters here too: https://www.alfredapp.com/help/workflows/inputs/file-filter/ GatorMapi 1 Link to comment
