michael_e Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 (edited) Hey guys, I am quite new to Alfred and workflows, but I think and believe the following problem should be easy for you. Basically what I wanna do is to look for three different keywords on three different websites in private mode. What I have done so far, you can see below at the screenshot. Now, two things that I haven't achieved yet: 1) How do I make the search in all private mode? I won't to have neutral results, and not the results based on my preferences that Amazon and Google know. 2) Google, Amazon and Ebay are predefined by Alfred. How to I add a third (or fourth site) website for a search, e.g. https://www.gearbest.com/={query}-_gear/? 3) Is there a way to have also a Screenshot, or PDF print of all those then 9 websites? That would be lovely! Ideally it should work without starting the specific browser first. I also do not mind about the browser. Safari, Firefox, or Chrome work, but the search has to be conducted in private mode. Thanks for your help!

vitor Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Welcome @michael_e, When asking for help with a Workflow, please upload it somewhere so we can better help you. Read the Reporting Problems with Workflows topic, as it gives a nice overview on how to build an effective report. But some quick notes: On 1: It’s possible, but not without coding. Fortunately, since you don’t care about the browser, that’s easy enough to do. On 2: You use the Open URL Action. On 3: Yes, but it may not return the exact same results and be more bothersome to do than the rest of the Workflow. So if it’s a “nice to have”, I’d scrape that for now. 5 hours ago, michael_e said: Ideally it should work without starting the specific browser first. Without starting the browser? What do you mean? How can you have a browser web search without opening the browser? Do you mean stating? Link to comment
michael_e Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 Thanks for the help vitor! I edited the post and added a dropbox download link for the workflow. On 1: can you do it? Preferably Chrome, but as I said, any browser works. That is the main task I'd like to have done. The public search did not provide any help. Link to comment
