Slow down the serach.

[itsmaxlim]

Hi

Last two updates I see sowing down the serach.

It is waiting around 3-10 seconds before showing result. (I use moderm mac with SSD)

 

I can temprory fix the issue by pressing "clean Knowledge" .

 

It taks around a 1-2 weeks active usage to slow down the search.

 

Thank you.

Issues like these are nearly always an indexing problem, even on modern SSDs. Have you tried reindexing your Mac recently? This option is found under Alfred Preferences > Advanced > Files / Apps > Rebuild OS X Metadata. I prefer to use the "Delete /.Spotlight-V100" option, which will result in a complete reconstruction of the OS X file index and has a higher chance of solving speed issues.

 

This is not a bug with Alfred. It's an issue out of Alfred's control (since Alfred depends on OS X's metadata index).

Tyler's answer is spot on for this... Alfred shows results the instant they are given to him from OS X, so reindexing your OS X metadata will fix this
