    As soon as you introduce prefixes, it makes having this built in to Alfred a rather moot point. In that case, you can use a workflow and make it behave exactly the way you want.

     

    It'd be nice if bookmarks of multiple profiles can come up in default search results (and are opened in the profile they're associated with upon selection). Search result supports typeahead and is better than prefix IMO. I don't think there's a way to do that right now.

  2. Hi,

     

    I really enjoy Alfred and wonder if it's possible that

    • Bookmark search supports multiple Chrome Profiles.
    • Bookmark search result is opened in its associated Chrome profile.

     

    I imagine it'd be a great enhancement in terms of user experience.

     

    And easily doable, as Chrome supports this on command line:

    open -nb com.google.Chrome --args --profile-directory="Profile 1" <bookmark url>
    

     

    Regards,

     

    Loyal Alfred user.

    Vero asked what you see when you type "bm", not when you type "bm asdf". Please follow the instructions she gave you. You aren't providing enough details for us to help you.

     

    Sorry but I cannot as `bm` shows private content only (the search results).

    @ssppjj First, update to Alfred 4.0.6 to be on the current version. 

     

    Next, which version of Chrome are you using? Please ensure this is also the latest.

     

    And finally, when you type "bm" followed by a space, you should see this:

    Do you see this until you start typing the name of a bookmark, and Alfred switches to the fallback searches? If that's the case, it means that no bookmarks are found.

     

    First, try removing and re-adding Alfred to the Full Disk Access permissions in case there's corruption there.

     

    Next, if you have any bookmarks in Safari, add Safari by checking the box next to it. This will help establish that there are indeed bookmarks being found, just none from Chrome. At that stage, you'll need to ensure you're looking at the correct Chrome profile, etc... 

     

    Please provide as much information as possible if you'd like further support, as you're not currently giving any details that might help troubleshoot this.

     

    Cheers,
    Vero

    It wouldn't work.

     

    There's no application that can (usefully) open every kind of file. So you're basically asking for a feature that is fundamentally broken in a very important way. Such features do not get added to Alfred.

     

    Cool. I agree for now. Thanks for your input.

    Regardless of file type?

     

    In any case, you can do this by creating a custom File Action.

     

    See https://www.alfredapp.com/help/workflows/triggers/file-action/ and https://www.alfredapp.com/help/workflows/triggers/file-action/

     

    Cool. That's very nice!

     

    I now can use these steps:

    - search file

    - use up/down arrow to select file if file is not first search result

    - tab to open file action

    - choose file action

     

    I still wish I could simply do:

    - search file

    - cmd + number to select and open file in the editor I want

     

    It'd be nice if configurable.

    What do you mean exactly? It’s not very clear what you’re asking.

    After finding a file using Alfred (typing space or single quote, and file name), is it possible to open the file with an editor I want? Currently, it seems to use different system default editors for different types of files, and sometimes even run the file in Shell. I'd like to set one Editor to open all files found through Aflred file search. Thanks

    Umm … That's kinda the opposite of what I recommended (and Andrew reinforced). "Foo" and "bar" are not concrete examples. They're made-up words never used outside of examples. You need to provide real-world, understandable examples that show the superiority of your suggestion.

     

    Like I said, out-of-order matching is super simple, so it's absolutely not something Andrew doesn't know about. He chose in-order matching for a reason. You need to demonstrate why that was not the best choice if you want it changed, and "foo" and "bar" aren't going to do it.

     

    Also, FZF absolutely does not work that way. It uses strictly in-order matching. "foo bar" will not match "bar foo" in FZF.

     

     

    OK. I'll try to find you a good example. In general, it's cases when I want to narrow down search results using more words regardless of their order.

     

    BTW, FZF seems to work that way for me:

  9. Hi,

     

    It seems that currently Clipboard history search is keyword-order-sensitive, i.e. searching "bar foo" doesn't match record "foo bar". Is it possible to make it keyword-order-insensitive or add an option to do so?

     

    This search behavior is consistent with many popular search tools, such as, Chrome Address bar (aka Omnibox), and fzf (https://github.com/junegunn/fzf).

     

    Thanks!
