That worked!

I'd like to refine it to switch to the open tab instead of always opening a new window but it's a start. 

It's here if others want to take a look

I was looking at the 'keyboard combo' example above for this, but couldn't work out (or find via google) how to send the combo to Safari specifically rather than to MacOS at large. Is that possible.?

@Nicco Catalina still has some indexing and permissions issues, and we're keeping a close eye on improvements during the betas.

 

You can try dragging your whole drive (or an enclosing folder of the files you're searching for) to Spotlight's Privacy tab, wait 30 seconds, drag it out, wait a few minutes while macOS reindexes the drive. Search again in Alfred and see how you get on.

curious: Does this do anything different from pressing "Rebuild macOD Metadata" under advanced prefs? 

A very common activity for me is to take a screenshot directly to the clipboard and then want to do something with it (Open in Preview.app, email to someone). Currently I still have to open the relevant app and then paste in, or the other route is to screenshot to a file and then find it and open it. I was wondering if were possible to add the relevant actions (Open, Open With, Save, Save As, Email To, etc etc) to clipboard history items when possible.

Basically I want to be able to 'right arrow' on clipboard history items and get a version of this sheet.

Is there a workaround?

Is it possible?

Feature request?

Just another way to strengthen my already almost total Alfred dependency.

http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/8783-safari-history-search-workflow/is probably the closest you can get.

 

The only way to get Safari history in default results is to use an external program that watches your History.db file and exports its contents to Spotlight-indexable files.

But doesn't Spotlight already index Safari history? It has an option for it in the prefs, and results appear when I do a spotlight search...

Subject says all really. I tried adding 

~/Library/Safari to the Search Scope list in the hope that it would index the History sqlite db in there but no dice. This would be super useful - I rarely remember to bookmark anything.

Does Alfred know something special about that Notes folder, or does it just read any sqlite databases in the path? I ask cos I tried to add ~/Library/Safari in the hope that it would include my Safari History in the default search results but no success. I guess I should open a new topic for the real question...
