How to pass "name:XXX" into Mac finder?

[OnTheClock]

Hi all,

 

I may be missing something easy in the default search or workflows, but I'd like to type the name of a document into Alfred which would pass the search to finder using 'name:documentname' format. To be more clear, I want to see the results in Finder, not in the Alfred window. For example, If I have several drafts of a document called ''AlfredIsCoolv1', AlfredIsCoolv2', 'AlfredIsCoolv3', I'd like to type something like "Find AlfredIsCool" into Alfred and have all the documents containing this textstring show up in Finder.

 

Now, I open finder, type in "name:AlfredIsCool" to get the results I want.  Any help?

Thanks!

There’s no simple way to do this because Apple does not provide the necessary hooks for the automation. You can do it by faking key presses, which is less that ideal.
