Geoff Hudik Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I use Web Search a lot but not for search more for launching various URLs. It'd be nice if the icon could default by downloading the favicon for the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Wright Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 I'm here from 3 years into the future, and sadly can report still having to find, save, and drag each web search's icon onto the little square. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen_C Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 This has been discussed a number of times but see here, for example, for a comment as to why this is not practical. Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Wright Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Ah, I searched for "web search favicon" and this thread was the first one that looked relevant. I replied in the discussion you linked, but will quote it here too: Quote 'm not sure I understand how this is unfeasible for Alfred to implement... In a probable majority of cases, you can just query {domain}/favicon.(ico|png|jpg) and get a 200 response with the icon... If it doesn't look good, so be it — at least the app tried for me rather than just forcing me to do all the manual work of finding, saving, and dragging the icon around to the little square target on the Web Search window. A slightly more complex implementation — but still dead simple — is to just parse the HTML of the page for the <link rel="shortcut icon" /> which definitively points to the icon if there is one.
