I am quite new to MacOS. Alfred does not detect applications installed with brew install --cask command. The only answers that I encounter are 'add Caskroom to Alfred search scope` without telling me how.

An Image of Alfred Preferences

Clicking '+' button opens Finder, but it does not let me select '/opt/homebrew/Caskroom'. (How can I use absolute path in Finder?) I have looked for CLI ways to add path to Alfred search scope, and the searching was unsuccessful. I also have disabled Spotlight index. Absolute path to discord.app is /Application/Discord.app. Although /Application is already added to Alfred's search scope, Alfred cannot detect Discord, alongside with other apps in /Application directory. Please help me have Alfred detect Discord (and other apps such as Brave browser) installed with brew install --cask.

For my case, sudo mdutil -a -i on made Alfed detect Discord and other apps.
This command is to enable indexing for spotlight and apparently for Alfred as well.
