joshuaswilcox Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) I am not able to search for and open applications. I am on El Capitan build 15A262e and Alfred 2.7.2. Here are two screenshots of my app folder and the results when searching. http://i.imgur.com/5vcCvt5.png and http://i.imgur.com/CJv4VHy.png Thanks Edited August 25, 2015 by joshuaswilcox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Eich Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Just to cover all the bases: have you already tried the suggestions in Troubleshooting Indexing Issues? If you haven't tried them all, which ones have you already attempted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshuaswilcox Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) Yeah I tried all of those, but the weird thing is that Spotlight doesn't find anything when I search for anything. Not sure if that is related to how/what Alfred works. I did do the reindexing and that didn't seem to help either. EDIT: Also this is the output when i try the "rebuild metadata" 2015-08-25 22:20:26.527 mdutil[1199:11700] Metadata.framework [Error]: mdsCopyStorePaths failed: (268435459) (ipc/send) invalid destination port Spotlight server is disabled. EDIT 2: Ok so final edit ( Sorry ) It seems somehow spotlight stopped on my computer (not sure how) and i restarted the spotlight server with cd /System/Library/LaunchDaemons sudo launchctl load -w com.apple.metadata.mds.plist And now it is back to working.
