Ah I don't have the Powerpack yet. But thank you still I've noted it so when I eventually do get it I'll implement that. Much appreciated sir.

Seems I was copy-pasting it incorrectly. I had right-clicked and done "copy link" which had changed the {} to "%7D". Sorted now, thank you both! Much appreciated. Now I just need to find a way to set it as the default so it uses this instead of Google so I can search without having to prefix! Can I be cheeky and ask within this thread if anybody knows how I can do that?

Thanks David. I tried your suggestion but it doesn't seem to be working. When doing the "test" (when adding a custom web search), the word "query" is being searched and if I put the {} brackets around the second one in the string you posted, the results are always in the {} brackets. If I put the first "query" in the string then I get an error. Also, for some reason even if I save that and try to do the search, no matter what I set as the keyword it doesn't seem to work.

Hi all. Just got suggested by someone from the Alfred team on Twitter to post this question here. So, my default browser is Safari, on which I have an extension called "Disconnect Search", which is basically private search so that you don't have all the usual "tailored" search results. Basically like DuckDuckGo but much better as it supports other search engines so you can get more than one page of results! I use Alfred for pretty much everything from app launching, launching websites, and of course: web searches. I have a bunch of custom search engines added. Whenever I try to do a Google search, it obviously uses the general search string built into Alfred instead of the default Disconnect Search as it would be if I search directly from the omnibar in Safari, and I can't add a custom search string from Disconnect Search because it looks like this: https://search.disconnect.me/searchTerms/serp?search=11786da2-1e27-456b-9788-6a7e405cd46a and so there is nowhere to put {query}. Has anybody found a workaround for this? Or is it something that would need to be suggested as a feature? Thanks for your help in advance.
