ChrisFVS Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I'm trying to setup a Custom Search and its telling me I have an invalid URL when I try to test the search even though the URL should be valid (and does work when I put it into a web browser). I've changed the exact letters in the URL for privacy but you can see the problem below: http://cl.ly/image/3f0M3F093110 https://www.test.com/test.aspx?#test=board/1234#filter={query} AlfredApp 1.4 (268) OSX 10.8.3 It is very easy to replicate this issue by using the URL above and pressing the "Test" button within a Custom Search.

Tyler Eich Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 (edited) I'm trying to setup a Custom Search and its telling me I have an invalid URL when I try to test the search even though the URL should be valid (and does work when I put it into a web browser). I've changed the exact letters in the URL for privacy but you can see the problem below: http://cl.ly/image/3f0M3F093110 https://www.test.com/test.aspx?#test=board/1234#filter={query} AlfredApp 1.4 (268) OSX 10.8.3 It is very easy to replicate this issue by using the URL above and pressing the "Test" button within a Custom Search. Alfred v1 bugs do not belong in the v2 Bug Reports forum. I pasted the provided url (https://www.test.com/test.aspx?#test=board/1234%23filter=test) in Safari 6.0.3 and got a 404 error. Are you sure you provided the correct URL? Am I doing something wrong? Can you give more information? Edited May 8, 2013 by Tyler Eich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisFVS Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 Sorry I posted in the wrong forum. Yea, the URL I gave you is not for a real page since the actual page I am trying to link to requires credentials to view. However, it is a valid URL that should be allowed for a custom search. When I add this and do the test, the test fails. Then if I save and try to use the custom search, it doesn't actually launch the search or post the URL to the web browser. If I got the 404 in the web browser, I'd consider that a success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I got the 404 in the web browser, I'd consider that a success. You need to pre-encode the URL outside of the {query} parameter to be valid, so replace the second # with %23. Interestingly, you'll notice that this forum has already done this as if I copy the test URL you pasted, it has %23 instead of #'s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
