basic searching?

[silsurf]

I basically use Alfred to search my local drive.

 

When I started using it I felt it searched through all levels of folders/directories. The last few release it seems to only search the top level. 

 

I keep all my documents in dropbox, dropbox is added to the searchable area in Alfred. If I search something like "camping" I only get one file, though there are many more in sub directories?

 

What am I doing wrong?

If this was working fine in the past without changing any configuration / search scopes, you may just need to do a reindex - there is a shortcut for this in Alfred's Advanced preferences

I know I saw the reindex function before, but now I cannot find it?
