This isn't exactly what everyone was asking for but I just figured out a totally acceptable workaround, I don't know why I didn't think of this instead because I had it running in other cases. In the workflow just change the snippet trigger to "Inputs > Keyword" and then set it to no argument required. This will let you search it from the default alfred view and do the same thing and you could still keep a snippet that would also feed into the action portion!
Perfect for me for the time being!
