rickcolosimo Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 It would be much easier if I could type letters in the name of a file/program and get those results from a fuzzy search. For example, I think of "Devonthink Pro" as "DVT," not as "Dev." If I type "dv," I get nothing for results. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can switch on "Full fuzzy match from word boundary" in Alfred's Advanced preferences, but this can result in noisier search results so here are a few alternative options: - Use Spotlight Comments (by pressing Cmd + I on the app you want to add a comment to) to add shortcut/nicknames for the apps where you do this regularly - Create a mini workflow (Using the "Launch file group from keyword" template) for apps you want to create nicknames for - Create hotkeys to launch your favourite apps from a hotkey instead, which is even quicker These would be more efficient than switching on full fuzzy matching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
