Davide Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Hi, I want to create a Safari bookmark search. Therefore I have to drop a file typ into the workflow like com.apple.safari.bookmark. Where can I find or create such a file? Thanks. Link to comment
Andrew Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I've just thrown together a little workflow for you: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/6749767/Alfred/Workflows/Search%20Safari.alfredworkflow Use 'sb' to search safari bookmarks and 'sh' to search safari history. Take a look at the search scopes set for each type which is where I found the files to drag into the 'types' field DJay 1 Link to comment
Davide Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 Great! Thanks for Alfred and service! Link to comment
DJay Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Sweet. Thanks a lot. You guys and girls are the best! Link to comment
mdmurayama Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 The SH (Safari history) works fine but I can't get the SB (Safari bookmarks) to work. It just defaults to the fallback results. Link to comment
dimsav Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I don't get it: Alfred has by default the ability to search for Safari bookmarks, why do you need a workflow for that? Link to comment
drking Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 @dimsav: The reason I like using this workflow rather than the default, is because then I am able to choose to search my bookmarks (and/or history) only when I need to, rather than having all my bookmarks come every time I type text into Alfred. Makes things less congested for me personally. DJay 1 Link to comment
Andrew Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Is there a way to make alfred just show my safari history when I type the search in without using the keyword? I find alfred severally limited by not able to open my frequently visited sites. And I don't mean bookmarks, there are plenty of sites that I don't bookmark but visit a few times a week. And I love to be able to type it into alfred and have it launch the browser. You can drag the history metadata type into Alfred's Features > Default Results > Advanced prefs, but this is definitely not recommended as it saturates Alfred's default results. Link to comment
