Am I understanding this correctly? Or barking up the wrong tree...
The bottom one is configured to search via "kMDItemTextContent"
"The value can be (query), (var:varname) or constant strings.
The constructed query is grouped by value type, for example: (query OR query) AND (var AND var) AND (const AND const)"
(I don't understand what this means... Should I create a {const} parameter to find a string...?)
Am I mistaken in thinking this Workflow should be able to search for a specific string of text within a library of PDFs and present the result that matches the string...?
For example, I've decided I want to find this random paragraph contained within a PDF:
"In the silence of the early morning, I’m in my office, preparing for the day’s
trading."
So in theory I was hoping the Workflow would return the result, Best Loser Wins, since that's the PDF where this sentence was taken from.
But obviously no such luck (I'm misguided or I haven't configured it correctly...)
When I paste the quote into the Workflow, it can't find any PDF containing the phrase and so just returns these default search options:
Can you shed some light... Ideally I'm trying to see if it's possible for me to link from ANKI (Flashcard / Memory Aid) to specific quotes within PDFs via Alfred... If anyone knows how I might go about it, I'd be very grateful. (Is it possible to hyperlink to anchors within a PDF...? Which admittedly is another topic altogether...!)
Much obliged,
Dan
