Multiple Arguments in Custom Web Search

[altern8tif]

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}

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

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

I've just PM'ed you the workflow

Please email to me too, can I change it to be separated by comma, not space?

@t3k I've just created you a simple example which uses comma as the separator and messaged it to you

Hi thanks andrew, I just playing the example but I ran to a problem which because it's an array it will convert %5B and %5D to %255B and %255D. The problem is similiar as this: link. And in my case it will make the query not working. Is there any solution?

Would there be any way for me to get a copy of this as well?

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

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.

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

Thanks Andrew! 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!
