altern8tif Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Is it possible to create a custom web search where I can input multiple space-delimited queries/arguments into a search URL? XE AUD USD Example sourceURL: https://xe.com/currencycharts/?from={query1}&to={query2} Link to comment

XE AUD USD Example sourceURL: https://xe.com/currencycharts/?from={query1}&to={query2} Hi there, This isn't possible with standard web searches, but is possible with a simple workflow. If you have a Powerpack, pop your email address in the Powerpack field in the forum profile (only viewable by Vero and I), and I'll share my workflow with you Cheers, Andrew Link to comment
Andrew Severin Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Can you share this workflow. I am also interested. Be great if we could split the {query} input into {query}[1] {query}[2] etc based on spaces Link to comment

Andrew Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 @t3k I've just created you a simple example which uses comma as the separator and messaged it to you Link to comment

The problem is similiar as this: link. And in my case it will make the query not working. Is there any solution? Link to comment
NicoleM Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Would there be any way for me to get a copy of this as well? Link to comment
TheThunderChimp Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Hi Andrew, if this workflow still works, could I get a copy too? I would like to make a custom search for transforming geographic coordinates (inputs are x and y) using this website: https://epsg.io/transform#s_srs=3632&t_srs=4326&x=23388210.0736364&y=10063500.5951367 Link to comment
splitpersonality Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Hi! I'd appreciate a copy of this workflow too. There are many "comparison" websites that use questionable search queries, and this would be extremely useful. https://www.g2.com/compare/shopify-vs-magento https://www.g2.com/compare/{query1}-vs-{query2} Link to comment
Andrew Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Here is a simplified (no script) version of the original workflow I shared: https://www.dropbox.com/s/puacw4w4q9tbm1y/Placeholder Images.alfredworkflow?dl=0 Keyword 'placeholder' takes a comma separated argument, splits to variables, then uses these variables in the Open URL object. For example, show Alfred and type: placeholder 400,300 You'll get a picture of a kitten at that size. Let me know if you need help converting this for your use case Cheers, Andrew Link to comment

This is totally game-changing. It looks like it explains itself. I just wasn't aware of the existence of those elements. Thanks you so much! Andrew 1 Link to comment
