Hyper Seek: Inline Search Results, without a keyword

[pseudometa]

This one quickly became one of my personal drivers, since it speeds up search so much. 

 

Relies on a few hacks, so I don't know whether it'd be something for the Alfred Gallery. But at the very least, I wanted to share it here.

 

Features

• Inline Search Results, similar to Spotlight on iOS.
• Works without a keyword. Results are always shown alongside your other keywords.
• Multi-Selection of URLs to open.
• Global Search Hotkey: Search for terms, open URLs, write mails, etc.
• Add link to selected text: Turns selected text into a Markdown link.

Thanks to a few beta testers, I fixed a bunch of issues for various edge cases. If you experienced the workflow not working for you, try downloading the latest version and it should work now!

Hey @pseudometa, there used to be another inline google search workflow but it's not been working for a long time. So I was excited to find yours but it is not working for me. I get the error below in the debugger. could you please help me with the issue? thank you for the great workflow!

@JJJJ Hi, thanks for the kind words!

 

I just pushed an update that should fix that problem. Try release 1.1.5?

Hi pseudometa,

 

Hope all is well.

 

Hyper Seek has been so great but unfortunately stops showing results again. Could it be the same problem like before? Thank you.

This seems to be an issue with something at DuckDuckGo having changed. A bunch of ddgr users, (this workflow uses ddgr), also reported an issue, which is probably the underlying cause. Unfortunately, I think there is little I can do on my end, will have to wait for a fix at ddgr.

I see. Thank you.

[pseudometa]

Okay, I found a temporary fix for the issue.

You are a hero, genuinely one of the most useful workflows ever. Like @JJJJ I was a big fan of the old google one
