How to make sure searching Google Drive always uses the correct profile

[marepinta]

I am most often logged into Google in two different browsers.  One is personal, one is work.  I want my command-spacebar "drive 'xxx'" to only search the work drive.  It does this most of the time but I think it might be related to which browser window was last focus point before I start to search.

 

Is there a way to modify the search parameter settings in the command "drive ..." to ensure it always chooses the one I want?

 

My personal Google Drive has very limited files, the work one is huge.  I can always search the personal one manually, but what I love most about Alfred is how well it cuts valuable time off my repeated tasks.  If I can make this work is would be great.

 

Thanks for your thoughts.

Welcome @marepinta,

 

When asking for help, please be as specific as you can. Help us help you. What is the source of that drive command, are you using a workflow you built yourself or from someone else? Which one? It’s imperative we are on the same page to attempt a solution.

I am using command + spacebar to open my Alfred search
Then I type "drive - space - and whatever I want to search for in my Google Drive"
In the general settings page in Alfred, this is what shows ->

 

I guess I am using the default one that says - Search google Drive for '{query}'

 

It is a default search.  I don't see how to modify it.

Thank you for the clarification. As per the name, that only does a web search. I.e. it opens a specific URL in your default browser. What happens next is up to the browser in question and your configurations.

To have it always open in a specific web browser (your work one), you can make a workflow. All you need is a Keyword Input connected to an Open URL Action. In the latter you can specify the web browser to use.

See the Getting Started Guide for an interactive tutorial on making a workflow. There is further documentation on the website to follow up (tip: find help for any object fast by clicking the (?) icon while editing).
