New Release (2.1.1) fixes slow search when searching across all browser histories.

In addition, within WF environment variables, the search for each browser can be enabled or disabled optionally.

@Acidham, thanks for your workflow! I use it quite often. 

Can you please consider such feature request: to add the keyword which will list results sorted not by number of visits, but by recency - when the url was visited last. 

I believe it can be handy.

You mean triggered by a separat keyword e.g. `bhs` which sorts based on recently visitied?

yes!

[Acidham]

Done, but I added sort_recent flag in Workflow settings. If set to True search results will be sorted based on recent visits otherwise on number of visits.

Hi @Acidham - I've been using this workflow for a while now and really appreciate it. Recently (and I'm not sure if this is associated with moving to Alfred 5 or v3.x of the workflow) the workflow has stopped working for me (i.e. no results returned).

 

Alfred sometimes (seems to be inconsistent & I'm not sure how to reliably recreate) now returns the following error:

Quote

 

Unable to run task!

Reason: working directory doesn't exist.

 

/bin/bash

 

Check that the selected language exists on your system.

 

If you're syncing Alfred's preferences, also check that all related workflow files exist locally.

... any ideas on how to resolve please? I tried changing /bin/bash to /bin/zsh with no change in behaviour

 

Many thanks,

  Gordon

Strange, did you try on terminal where bash?

Anyhow, I changed it and released the WF. let me know

[modusop]

Thanks @Acidham In terminal I get the following

Quote

$ where bash
-bash: where: command not found
$ locate bash

WARNING: The locate database (/var/db/locate.database) does not exist.
To create the database, run the following command:

  sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.locate.plist

Please be aware that the database can take some time to generate; once
the database has been created, this message will no longer appear.

$ which bash
/opt/homebrew/bin/bash

The last command returns the same result after

chsh -s /bin/bash

 

I'm getting the same (lack of) result with the new version I'm afraid i.e. 

[Acidham]

I changed to shebang to /bin/zsh. Therefore, what result do you get with where zsh?

What macOS version are you using? Even /bin/bash/ should be available at least.

I'm using 12.3.1.

 

I deleted the workflow and reinstalled ... and now it's working fine. Thanks again for your help 🙂
