Sometimes I have a file that I know some key content words of, but those might also appear in filetypes that are not relevant  at the moment, so I would like to be able to provide the search as much content as I know in order to get the right file 

@vitor thanks for the tips, I ended up with this

https://github.com/tomvanoppens/alfredflows/blob/main/Paste to active dir.alfredworkflow

’t work because that’s in the shell, it’s not related to the Find

This is the flow I end up with, any suggestions to figure out what's on the clipboard, to make the handling different for text or images ?

so the splitter splits in variables 

but I'm not so sure what I need to put in the file filter for it to trigger the search, it seems to come up with nothing

well I was hoping to based on the contenttype of the clipboard dynamically maybe trigger a script like this

Ideally there is a way to have the variables come from alfred

I would like to , if I do a paste action in finder and the clipboard contains an image past it as a new image file (or if text as a txt file) directly in the directory 

I want to create a workflow where there are 3 search parameter inputs.

1 is a word that's present in the file

2 or 3 (optional) a word in the filename

2 or 3 (if starting with a .) (optional) the filetype

so to distinguish between 2 and 3 , the leading . should be used

all parameters are space separated 

this is what I made so far, but I'm not sure if I'm on the right track
