Clipboard history regex search

[Meldiron]

I believe lot of us are used to Alfred clipboard history and it saves a lot of time.

 

As a developer, I have it set to 7 days history and use it a lot of times to temporarily store IP addresses and passwords. For example, I know password starts with "R$" so I can easily filter it. Problem is, I cant remember the IP address and there is no way to search for it.

 

This problem could be solved using regex. I could filter all clipboards that contains 3 dots and easily find all IP addresses.

I miss this functionality too! Also right now it looks like search string is trimming whitespaces, so I can't event to search for some words.

 

e.g. in my search history I may have these items:

someFunction()
prefixSomeFunction()

 

I need to find usages of the first one, and I could've done this with a space prior the name, but it's ignored.

It probably shouldn't do that.

 

Alfred stores its clipboard history in an SQLite database. As such, you can use wildcards (e.g. *oat matches “coat”, “boat” etc.), but regular expressions are out of the question, I’m sure. I can’t possibly imagine Andrew would consider pulling every row out of the DB to compare them to a regex.
