Contacts Search Trouble

[lentaro]

Hey all! I'm on a Mac and if I search an address that is in my contacts, Alfred doesn't find it. It can find the contacts during a search but not the address. Is there a setting to include this data?

 

TIA!

@lentaro Alfred's Contacts search doesn't include address details, as this would make your results significantly noisier. 

 

However, for fun, I had a look at what metadata is provided in a contact card to see whether searching by address is possible so that I could create a File Filter workflow for you. Unfortunately, the address details are simply not exposed as metadata. The card metadata provides the name, email address, country and a few other bits of data, but no part of the actual address.

 

If you're curious to see for yourself, here's how you can perform an mdls on a contact:
