Finding files in disk images

[mentat]

Hi,

 

I use the file search functionality in Alfred a lot, by prefixing queries with '. Many of the documents I work with are in sparsebundles that I mount when I need them. Spotlight indexing is enabled on these volumes, and using spotlight, I'm able to find files in them. Using Alfred however, the files don't turn up. So searching for "demo.docx" using spotlight would give a result in /Volumes/MountedVault, but searching for "'demo.docx" in Alfred (v2) doesn't.

 

Is this a matter of settings, or is this an Alfred v2 bug?

I would assume that this is an issue of search scope since its in another volume. When one is mounted, try adding that volume to Alfred's search scope and see if you can find documents inside of it.
