Search Alfred Preferences from Alfred search Bar.

[politicus]

Love the new search in Preferences. But would love to be able to search Alfred Preferences from Alfred search bar.

@politicus You can do this with the built in ? keyword, e.g. Show Alfred and type:

?features

I'll add a note to make this more obvious 

 

Cheers,

When I type "?features" in Alfred Search Bar and hit enter Alfred Preferences is launched.

But I can't search any query as "Features" disappears as I type an argument. 

[Andrew]

@politicus They keyword is ?... Did Alfred's preferences launch to the features tab when you typed ?features

 

How about if you type ?workflows, or ?web search

[politicus]

All is working like a charm.

One more feature I will use every day !

 

Any other hidden gems ? 😀 

[politicus]

Are web searches searchable. Doesn't look like they are. 😔

 

Would be super useful when want to check the keyword of one web search.

[Andrew]

@politicus they are searchable by keyword, but this is something which will likely change in the future

[politicus]

Ok. Got it. 

 

(I tried but didn't find a way to search by keyword this morning because I had the great idea to create a workflow with a ? as a keyword... Stupid me.)

 

In order no other user waste his time, the right way to search Web searches by keyword is "?NameOfTheKeyword". No space needed between ? and the keyword.
