Alfred does a lot more beyond just searching.

Very true, for me, spotlight search felt so broken that Alfred would be worth it even if search was all it did.
Such as?
I should do a lot more with Alfred, but apart from using it as a launcher my most used feature is the clipboard search. After invoking it by typing 'clip' into the box, I get an incremental search on all clipboard contents it has tracked, and can re-copy any of those items to the current clipboard by pressing enter. Very useful and efficient when it's part of your workflow.
