Fix when typing a path into Alfred e.g. /Applications, then selecting all and typing a string (e.g. 'andrew')
Now correctly returns to the default results instead of staying in the FS navigation mode with no results
e.g. "public.folder" searches kMDItemContentType, "+public.directory" searches kMDItemContentTypeTree
