adeloscope Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) Hey Everyone I'm trying to figure out if Alfred has a specific functionality. Like many of you, I do a crazy amount of email, and I'm constantly searching for something in a browser, copying the URL, and then pasting in an email client. My dream is something like MixMax (chrome + gmail plugin that allows '/' search), or the command+k shortcut in google docs (see image below), which works in any applications. My question - is there any way using Alfred, to enter a google search term, see the top 10 results, choose one, and then paste that URL, without ever leaving Alfred (and never opening a browser)? Thanks for any help! (PS - I understand that the example below is creating a hyperlink. It's just for illustration. I'm interested in pasting the actual URL in any context.)

vitor Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 From Alfred’s side, it is doable with a Script Filter. Then it all depends on Google’s side, as you may or may not be able to do it in that case. See this StackOverflow answer for the available ways to do it and this workflow to get a sense of it.

adeloscope Posted January 9, 2017 Author Share Posted January 9, 2017 Thank you vitor! These are great pointers - but my hope was that some industrious soul had already done the work. Perhaps this will spark the innovative spirit in someone else Link to comment
