deanishe 1,394 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 That's an extremely vague description. What exactly are you imagining doing with Alfred and what do you think should happen then? Link to post Share on other sites

What exactly are you imagining doing with Alfred and what do you think should happen then? fair enough... let's pretend I go to https://daringfireball.net and instead of read all his posts I just bring Alfred and write a word I know it's inside of the post I'm looking for... when I hit enter that word is selected in the page I'm reading.

deanishe 1,394 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 So you want to trigger Safari's own search via Alfred? Put your query on the find pasteboard with the bash/zsh command echo "$1" | pbcopy -pboard find then simulate ⌘F to trigger Safari’s search. Link to post Share on other sites
