Troubleshooting

Issue: Alfred and Spotlight Cannot Search Certain Files and Directories

If you encounter a problem where Alfred and Spotlight are unable to search some files and directories, especially after transferring data from an old Mac or restoring from a Time Machine backup, you can try the following solutions:

1. Rebuild the Spotlight Index:

   • Follow the instructions provided by Apple to rebuild the Spotlight index: Rebuild the Spotlight index on your Mac.

2. Use Alfred's Built-in Rebuild Index Feature:

   • Open Alfred Preferences.
   • Go to the "Advanced" tab.
   • Click on "Rebuild macOS Metadata" to use Alfred's built-in feature to rebuild the index.

These steps should help resolve the issue and restore the search functionality for your files and directories.
