Searching contact by email address does not work

[mescalito]

I read on http://support.alfredapp.com/features:contacts that you can find contacts by Name, email address and nickname.

 

Finding them by email address doesn't seem to work, I just get the options to search in google, wikipedia and amazon if typing an email address that is present one of my contacts.

This info is a touch out of date, searching by email address was removed to clean up the default results. You have a few options though... you can either use the email keyword which will search by email address e.g.

 

email alfred

 

or you could use a workflow filter to search for email addresses to open in Alfred's contact viewer like this one:

Let me know if you need any help with that workflow and I'll get the help page fixed!

 

Cheers,
