Safari History Search workflow

[akaralar]

# SafariHistorySearch

Alfred workflow to search Safari history written in swift.

 

#Usage

`shs <SEARCH_TERMS>`

 

Separate search terms with spaces if you want to search for more than one word. ie: 

 

`shs github safari`

 

 

Each word is searched separately. If you want to search for a phrase, 

surround the phrase with double quotes, ie:  

 

`shs "Alfred Workflow to Search Safari History"` 

 

The results contain all search terms. This workflow searches the page url, page title and page body if available.

 

see https://github.com/akaralar/SafariHistorySearch/releases for latest version.

 

I hope you like it!

Very handy workflow.
 
There's a small bug (fat fingers?): On the item XML tag, the attribute should be called uid, not uidid.

Hey acidham, i think you need xcode and swift also installed on your system right now. I'm working on a fix and post it here when I update the workflow!

Thanks deanishe, will correct that as well

Seems this workflow is broken. It brings up the history results but when i hit enter on one of them it doesn't open the link in safari... 

 

here is the tail end of the debug (the initial bit seems to be working since i get results):

FWIW, you can create a Safari History search with a File Filter pointed at ~/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari/History

actually that worked thanks!

I managed to fix the issue by simply changing the Open File object for a Open URL object in the workflow.

It's not an issue with Alfred version. High Sierra has introduced some changes on how the history is stored.

 

You can use this workflow for searching Safari history which is HS compatible.
