How to make Alfred search its own workflows description, title, subtext fields?


Recommended Posts

I've created a simple workflow with a keyword input that runs an applescript.

 

It works fine when I type in the exact keyword ("a thing").

Attached to this workflow, I have entered a description ("does something special").

Additionally, for the keyword input for this workflow, I have entered "does something special" for the title and subtext.

 

I would love to be able to simply type "special" or "something" in alfred's fuzzy search and see my workflow in the results. Right now, it just goes to FallbackSearch.

 

How can I set up the intended behavior?

Alfred isn't really designed to do this. Alfred can match files and folders in this manner but for workflows, Alfred matches their keyword alone. You could create multiple keywords if you wanted that all link to the single script if you wanted to match another word though.
