kgfme Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Hi, I'm having the same exact problem as the poster above. The funny thing is it works fine on my home Mac Mini 2012 but its not working fine on my iMac at work. I can see all my databases fine if I type in devondb, but I can't find anything if I do a search with devon [search term], it just goes to the default searches saying devon [search term] in Google or Amazon which is weird. I'm not sure if there is a file missing or something or I need to modify permissions. The funny thing is that if you do the same search in spotlight, it actually displays devonthink results. So, it seems to work in spotlight, but not in Alfred. It's really frustrating. Thanks, kevin Link to comment
Blake Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I installed DEVONthink Document Search today for the first time and seem to experience the same problem, i.e. I can see my database with "devondb", but "devon search term" does not yield any results. Could you please try to run the following command in terminal: /usr/bin/mdfind "kMDItemContentType == 'com.devon-technologies.metadata.think' || kMDItemContentType == 'com.devon-technologies.metadata.thinkpro'" Do you get any results? When I run this command in the terminal, I don't get any results (i.e., just the new prompt). Does that indicate that it is a Spotlight indexing issue? Did something maybe change with Yosemite that broke the workflow? Link to comment
gogo Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Don't know why, or how, but for me this workflow is working again: typing "devon [search term]" in Alfred yields search results. Link to comment
dgbeecher Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 I'd love a workflow that just searches for groups and/or tags in DEVONthink. Does anyone know if this might be possible? Any hints on how I might build such a workflow? Thanks for any input! Link to comment
lawrence Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Does this still work with the current versions of Alfred 3 and DEVONthink Pro Office? I'm not able to search for the files within Alfred, however they do show up correctly in Spotlight. Any ideas on what could be the issue? Link to comment
