Instead of the Finder or the Dock, I use Spotlight heavily. I should probably move to Alfred, but I'm too cheap. I only notice it reindex after some upgrades and maybe once or twice a year otherwise.
I also use iOS search a lot and haven't run into the problems you describe. The iOS App Store? I'm on the same page as you. It's totally frustrating and doesn't work right.
- balac 11y agoI wouldn't move to alfred for it's file search capabilities, in side by side tests spotlight is much better. Alfred does have many other uses though.
- SyneRyder 11y agoInteresting, I would've recommended Alfred over Spotlight specifically for that purpose, if you're searching by filename. I just tried a test and Spotlight was initially unresponsive and then temporarily beach-balled while searching, whereas Alfred was instantaneous. (This is on El Capitan.)
