pseudometa Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Get in-line suggestions from Wikipedia. Was actually a bit surprised that there wasn't such a workflow, considering that Wikipedia is so popular. (Searching the forum only resulted in old workflows from a decade ago that were not working anymore.) ➡️ https://github.com/chrisgrieser/alfred-wikipedia-suggest sepulchra and giovanni 2 Link to comment
sepulchra Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 (edited) one small tweak i made for myself.... I changed the keyword to "argument required" so it matches the behavior of google suggest that is in the alfred gallery. Edited December 31, 2023 by sepulchra Link to comment

genosse Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Hello, can't install your usefull workflow. Need help. ) Link to comment
pseudometa Posted January 1 Author Share Posted January 1 Hi, installation works fine on my end. I'd need a bit more information: how did you try to install the workflow, and what happened? Also, just to be sure: You are on Alfred 5 and you have the Powerpack purchased? Link to comment
genosse Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Yes, 5.1.4 with powerpack https://github.com/chrisgrieser/alfred-wikipedia-suggest this link sends me to no-data page) Link to comment
pseudometa Posted January 2 Author Share Posted January 2 Weird. Are you maybe located in India? I heard some Indian ISPs are blocking parts of GitHub. Do other sites at github work for you? Maybe it's a browser issue. Link to comment
ianpvd Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 The github readme links to: https://github.com/chrisgrieser/alfred-wikipedia-suggest/blob/main/releases/latest But that shows a 404 message inside the project repo. I downloaded a release from this URL instead: https://github.com/chrisgrieser/alfred-wikipedia-suggest/releases/latest Link to comment
pseudometa Posted January 3 Author Share Posted January 3 thx for the heads-up, link is fixed. Link to comment
spongeblink Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Hi, @pseudometa, thanks for making this wonderful workflow! But I have a few concerns… One being that you mentioned in your code that Alfred only shows 9 items at once, that is true but the Script Filter can provide more than 9 items to Alfred for the user to scroll through. I modified the code to show 20. It can be nice to provide a fixed number of results as a default. But that could be accomplished by adding a workflow configuration and set a default value for it. Plus, sometimes I know exactly what I'm searching for thus don't need to see all 9 results. Second one being I don't just view wikipedia in a single language. It's pretty frustrating when you type a query already, just to find out that you have configured the wrong language. Would be nice if we can set multiple languages at once. In that case we need configurable max number of result even more since the query for more that one language would be slower. I could find some time to implement these changes and create a pull request if you don't mind. Let me know what you think! Link to comment
pseudometa Posted June 21 Author Share Posted June 21 @spongeblinksure, both suggestions sound reasonable. I'm open to pull requests. spongeblink 1 Link to comment
