Expand snippets within Alfred's search bar?

[dosjon]

I've just migrated all my TextExpander snippets to Alfred (woot!). Would it be possible for snippets to expand within Alfred's search bar? For example, if I want to search for items with today's date in the title, I want to be able to type 'ddate' into the search, and watch that phrase be replaced with the actual, current date. I haven't found a way to do this. Am I missing something?

 

Another example is that I have many snippets that are very long URLs. Using TextExpander, I could type the four or five letter snippet of a particular URLs into Alfred, and it would expand and then take me to that page. See what I mean?

 

If I'm thinking about this the wrong way because there's a better method, just say the word. Thanks!

Alfred Preferences → Features → Snippets → cog icon on upper right. You’ll see Don’t expand snippets in the following apps. Alfred and Alfred Preferences are there by default. Remove them.
