Welcome @DavidB,

 

Thank you for sharing. A few suggestions for improvement:

• You should always prefer with input as argv over with input as {query}.
• You can easily make the Script Filter keyword user-configurable.

Thanks man! Yes absolutely; definitely more user-friendly that way. Just learned about scripting, so I appreciate that!

 

Thanks also for linking the info pages! I didn’t realize I wouldn’t have needed all that character escaping logic if I’d just passed the argument that way. Very helpful. Will update!

Thanks again, @vitor!

 

Updated in today's version (v1.0.1):

✅ All inputs now passed as argv; Javascript script's code refined to accommodate accordingly

✅ Script Filter keyword now user-configurable
