Hey everyone! I've created a workflow that allows you to search and create notes for Bear. This is my first workflow, first OSS project, and first foray into Python - let me know what all I messed up  Available on github and Packal. Many thanks to @deanishe and @dfay for some initial direction.
 
Install
To install, download a released alfred-bear workflow and double-click to open in Alfred 3. Easy-peasy.
Searching and opening results
bs -- Search for a note by title and open it in Bear.
 

 
 
bst -- Search for a tag (a group of notes) by tag title and open it in Bear.

Creating a new note
bn I love notes! -- Creates a new note with the title and text "I love notes!"

 
 
bn I love notes! #love #notes -- Creates a new note with the title and text "I love notes!" and the tags "#love" and "#notes"

Known Issues
Creating tags only works with single-word tags - multiword tags hopefully to come. Todo
Append text to existing notes. Figure out multi-word tags. Thanks
deanishe for guidance on Alfred workflow creation and capabilities, and for his excellent Python workflow library. dfay for guidance from his experience writing the Ulysses Alfred workflow. Rhyd Lewis for giving me an excellent example to work off of in his Omnifocus Alfred workflow. Versions
0.3.1
Fixed database location that changed with a Bear update. 0.3.0
Added search results from note text to main search. 0.2.2
Changed search queries to order by last modified date descending, so that more recently modified notes/tags show up at the top. 0.2.1
Added hashtag symbol to "Open Tag" list results to make it a little more obvious that it's a tag and not a note. 0.2.0
Now allows non-ASCII characters. Searching by tag now displays not only tags that match the search query, but notes that match those tags as well. Searching by tag now works with or without the '#' symbol in front of the tag.  
0.1.0 
Initial public release.

@td. Thank you for the suggestions! I think they're great ideas that I'd like to implement, so I've created enhancement issues on Github to track them. A couple sound tricky but I do love a good challenge.
 
Feel free to reach out to me if you ever have any other ideas!

Because it’s no longer being developed (the creators don’t have time). Packal isn’t a recommended way of sharing Workflows anymore. The site is breaking left and right with the simplest of things. You can’t even search anymore.
