Hello,
When using a File Filter or List Filter, sometimes we need the original query, not just the filename or list item output. Here's my example:
Use File Filter to search in a folder and within PDF documents for a work order number. For example: wo 12345
A list of PDF's that contain that number are shown.
Open PDF file in Preview. So far, everything works as expected.
Then I would like to take the work order number, in this case 12345, and enter it into Preview's search field. But, I don't have access to the original query. It would be nice if Alfred would save the original query as an internal variable when using File Filter, similar to {query}. How about {original} or something.
I have tried using a Keyword first, to grab the original query, but then I have to hit enter to see the results. This breaks backspacing to refine the search.
Thanks.
