Search for filename with dot

[jasimon9]

Whenever I try to use Alfred to search for a filename, as soon as I enter the "dot" before the extension, Alfred will only search the web. How do I prevent this and search the file system for a name including the dot?

By default, Alfred will not search all your files without a prefix. See here:

 

Try typing 'find' or [space] (appears as a ') before you type the filename you want. See here:

 

The Alfred Support site has more information.
