[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1728640, member: 131855"] Not sure about Alfred but when Spotlight was introduced it did not search invisible files, hidden files, or System files. I believe that is still true. It could find files in the main Library folder (at the root of the hard drive) because that folder is not hidden. It did not search the Library folder inside your user folder because that Library folder is hidden by default. I believe it will search your Library if you "unhide" it first. [/QUOTE]
