PLEASE NOTE: Alfred is currently in beta and as such, these help pages are currently being developed.
In this preference pane, you can specify what you want Alfred to search by default. Out of the box, Alfred will search applications, preference panes, Safari bookmarks and contacts for the cleanest results possible.

You can also set the search scope which limits where Alfred looks within your computer. We recommend using Intelligent search scope as searching "Everything" may make Alfred slower and less efficient.
