Feature Request: Search in Bear about alfred-bear HOT 11 CLOSED

Took some time but all these features have been added in #23 👍

I had considered that as well. I think that is possible.

from alfred-bear.

Worked perfectly. Very intuitive. Thank you so much.

And you know you can already type #, select a tag, and then browse all the notes filtered by that tag right? But you still want to browse within the Bear interface? I've received this request before (#18) and don't really understand it because I think the workflow already supports that functionality.

Glad you are enjoying the workflow.

from alfred-bear.

Yes, and it's perfect. But, sometimes I want to see image thumbnails, pinned notes, perform batch actions on multiple notes like copy links or export, etc. I can use the other workflow in addition to this one as well, but I feel adding this feature to your workflow would be "cleaner".

Also, off topic, why is the size of your workflow 25 MBs?

from alfred-bear.

Okay. I'll look into it. Thanks for explaining what the command would be used for. I'll probably use bt so as not to conflict with bs.

As for the 25 MB workflow size, it's the double-edged sword of using Go executables. Each executable is a completely self-contained instance of the Go runtime. It makes them extremely portable and extremely fast but also quite large. Since I have 5 of them in the workflow for various tasks, each at about 5 MB, that's about 25 MB just from the executables.

Got it. Thanks for responding 👍

First of all, Thanks @drgrib for your work, I really like what you've done here.
I'm adding +1 to this request, I would like to be able initiate special searches from Alfred prompt. eg.: @today, @images

from alfred-bear.

Thanks @anzax.

Interesting point about @today and @images. I didn't know those search options existed. With those in mind, I think both those and the tag search feature could be implemented by simply making the option key modifier "Search for {query} in Bear Main Window" when running bcs and bs.

I've tested it with tags and it opens to the intended unfolded tag point that I was originally planning to implement with a bt keyword. Better to not implement a new keyword module if it is unnecessary from a code perspective and is actually more steps from a user perspective.

It could be even better to have auto suggestions/complete for special searches listed here: Advanced search options in Bear. All of them start from @.
Anyway, just to have an option to open search result in the app would be great.

Hyped for this! :)
