Stooovie Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Mojave 10.14.5, latest builds of Alfred 3 and 4. Apps stopped showing today. I’m not aware of any modification of the system. Tried reloading cache, rebooting, restarting Alfred, rebuilding Spotlight. Apps ARE enabled in Spotlight prefs. Please advise, thanks. Link to comment
Andrew Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 @Stooovie could you please check that /Applications/ is in Alfred's Features > Default Results > Search Scope? It should be by default. Link to comment
vitor Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 (edited) @Andrew Seems like Catalina may have changed the location of Apple apps from /Applications, at least in the beta. There’s another post with this issue, and the solution was to add /System/Applications. May have something to do with the OS now being installed in a read-only partition, and changes to the file system layout. There will be a session for it tomorrow.

Stooovie Posted June 5, 2019 Author Share Posted June 5, 2019 (edited) Applications ARE enabled in Alfred Prefs and NO, this is on Mojave, not Catalina. EDIT: this is probably related to Spotlight as it can’t suddenly find Applications either. I rebuilt the index via Alfred’s Rebuild button, but it didn’t fix it.

Andrew Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 @Stooovie try Apple's own method for reindexing: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201716 [moving to discussion and help] Link to comment
Stooovie Posted June 5, 2019 Author Share Posted June 5, 2019 I already did that 😕 thanks anyway Link to comment
Stooovie Posted June 6, 2019 Author Share Posted June 6, 2019 I let Onyx clean/reset everything and both Spotlight and Alfred are fixed. Link to comment
adamyonk Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I'm having this issue as well, does anyone know what Onyx would be resetting that could be helping Stooovie? Link to comment
174353576 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I'm having the same issues. I've tried countless things including everything above except using onyx which doesn't work on Catalina yet. I see no reason for .apps to just not show up in the search results... I've had to use spotlight and it really hurts Link to comment
Andrew Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 @174353576 This is a bug in Catalina, I've posted a response here: Users have noticed that if you open an app, it can then be successfully indexed! Link to comment
