Came across SerpApi. By looks of it would allow to pragmatically get the results of Google search result pages without parsing the HTML yourself and keeping that parser up to date. You can rely on their service.

Curious if you would consider adding support for it. Although the Pricing is quite steep.

It has both Python & Go wrappers for easy access.

On this site, you can search with autosuggestions. Perhaps there is also api and you can add a search for that in the next version.

I couldn't find it there for some reason and was surprised.

I will take a look and see if I can find their ID's. I am still not quite sure how the workflow works internally.

It did expand it in previous Searchio but not in new one.

Hi,

Everything else is working but for some reason just maps isn't returning any results.

The most recent post I could find was 4 years ago, and maybe something has changed since then? Either way I'm not sure how to fix it. I've already removed and reinstalled the maps search engine.

I could not install this workflow. Downloading and instaling from github gives following error:

g where is germany?

Open /Users/poudel/Libr...son: No such file or directory

Allow users to press return to search a query that is not part of suggested results like here:

I am getting the above issue when I try any of the searches. What could be the issue? I am on MacOS Mojave and the latest version of searchio

Some web services return suggestions with links to corresponding web pages, in addition to suggested search terms, effectively providing actual search results in the GET response.

It would be reasonable to use those links instead of _search_url URL, when picking items in the list, so the user can skip search page and go straight to the actual result, but as far as I understand, it's not possible without altering of inner workings of the workflow.

Please, consider to add this functionality. Here is JSON response format for the reference, which is used by kinopoisk.ru.

This happens with any search criteria with any search engine.

Hello

Is there a way to support github.com also?

Thanks

So for example I make a search through the workflow and instead of pressing return, I can press control + return and it would instead filter the Google search by 'this week'. This option :

I have a regex that I use to quickly turn a google search into a 'search by this week' that I very often use : https://regex101.com/r/Zzof5b/2

And I just think it would be really nice to add an extra action to Searchio itself so users have more control over the searches they make.

This same concept can be applied to Youtube, DuckDuckGo or Amazon's option to filter by price :

Currently you can just do a replace action on the output with the regex :

But then if I would update a workflow, I would lose all these actions. Do you perhaps want to add some of these 'extra' actions to Searchio in the future?

I also think it would be nice to calculate these links in the workflow code itself rather then manipulating the end urls with regex. I tried adding something like this but didn't manage to get very far with it. :(

Thank you for this amazing workflow.

Since the API is not public, there is always possibility that Kinopoisk.ru will change it without notice, like a couple of days ago.

Seems like the autosuggest for Google Maps no longer works. Did the Google API endpoint change for that?

Even though both the version on packal and the one on github were released on the same day (January 19^th), the version on packal is 1.5 while the one on github is 1.6.1.

I just got new mac and decided to try 2.0.0-rc1 again to see if I actually get faster speeds than python version.

I get this error though running the g trigger to search Google.

15:45:37 workflow.go:760: [ERROR] open /Users/nikivi/Library/Application Support/Alfred 3/Workflow Data/net.deanishe.alfred-searchio/searches/google-en.json: no such file or directory

Anything I should of done to set the file up?

Because network reason, need to pass an agent to just can undertake visiting of website, how can ability add an agent？

There is a really cool plugin for Hammerspoon that allows google searching. Although it only autocompletes queries for quick typing.

The speed of it though is much much faster than searchio. I am curious, whether it is possible to have Searchio autocomplete results this fast?

Thank you a lot for this workflow.

As the title says, can you add by default a script and function for DuckDuckGo images searches?

Is it possible to always add generated script filters to the end?

The reason I ask is because I added simple wikipedia search and it added it not to the end but in the middle like so:

And the additional triggers I set are misaligned. You can imagine that users may have hotkey triggers instead of external but the issue will still be there.

I hope you will consider adding this. Thank you.

Currently if you cmd + c on a query result you get a link for the search. This is great. I do however want to ditch Anycomplete and use Searchio for its purpose of filling out text from a query and pasting it to the screen as well as making searches.

For that I need to retrieve the actual item text and put it into clipboard so I can then paste the text with CMD + V or do something else with it.

Will this be possible to add ability to get the Item's text with a modifier keypress or it goes against the way Searchio is built?

For my case I only need to use this from DuckDuckGo's script filter.

Similar to Safari Assistant which lets you define custom actions for modifier actions.

It would be amazing if you can do the same for Searchio.

For example I would love to combine DuckDuckGo search with an additional modifier that would prefix my search result query with !ducky which is DuckDuckGo's alternative to Google Feeling Lucky. Or combine Google search with Google feeling lucky so you can do both searches from one script filter. On return, open web page with google results and with ⌃ + ⏎ activate Google Lucky on the search query.

I hope something like this would be possible, this would make Searchio perfect. Thank you.

Hi

Thanks a lot for the hard work on this lovely alfred workflow, I use it almost everyday.

I was wondering if we could have Google news built in, that would be an awesome plus.

Thank you!

I can try add this but want to wait for a new release of Searchio first to accommodate new AwGo changes.

In Settings > Online Help points to https://github.com/deanishe/alfred-searchio/issues instead of Help

Not sure if there is API for this but it would be quite awesome if you could on google search results with a modifier key do the 'I am lucky' option.

It would be especially useful when you know what the first result will look like so will save you going to google page and going to the result from there.

Often when writing something I want to hyperlink something and I know that if I google for it, it will be the first result shown so instead of doing Google Lucky search, opening URL, copying URL, closing tab. I want to be able to search for a query with Google suggestions and on pressing copy or some key, put the actual URL that Google Lucky evaluates to, to my clipboard or paste it. That would be awesome.

Although I understand that this is most certainly impossible to achieve due to the way the workflow is built now. I might try to extract the 'search and suggestion' part from this workflow and solve this specific use case in a dedicated workflow. Do you think that's wise? @deanishe

Hey,

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong. I'm trying to set it up to work with Karabiner Elements. I added the search engines I wanted (Google US and YT US), then added an external trigger for each.

When I run the trigger I just get stuck with "Fetching results"

Please advise on how to proceed - thanks

How difficult would it be to move the fallback search as first result in Searchio and have it always be present. Right now when you search for something, there is a slight amount of seconds where I actually see something as a result. Be it results from Google or the fallback query.

I would love to have an option to make the fallback search the first item in the list, always present. And then fetch and present suggestion results as result 2/3/...

I get issues like this otherwise:

It's not consistent. I often make Google searches where I know the exact string I want to search on and I want to do it fast, type instantly, press return without waiting a little for results to fetch nor press the up arrow and hope the fallback will be there.

Old Searchio allowed for this use case and it was perfect. But I don't want to go back to slower Python version. I can attempt to solve this myself if you think it's possible.

Thank you.

p.s. Show Query in Results is active

Had posted this to alfredforum, probably better to post here:

I'm experiencing some weird behavior where wikia searches are oddly case sensitive - for example, when searching in tardis.wikia.com, a search for "tenth doctor" with searchio will not show results, whereas "tenth Doctor" will. Or, for dc.wikia.com, night-owl vs night-Owl behaves in the same way.

This way user can simply press enter and search for the specific query he wants to search for in cases where none of the suggestions are useful.

This is similar issue to #20

You mentioned there that you want to force users to only have the query as the last item which is quite unfortunate because more often than not, from my experience I want to search for a specific thing on Google without relying on suggestions and the suggestions often get in the way.

If you would to reconsider adding this as a configuration where you can either put User query either as the default result (first item) or the last item it would be amazing. For example opening a new tab in safari and searching, it makes the user query as the default and then suggestions follow. I wish the same behaviour was in new Searchio too.

Thank you a lot. It is the only thing I miss greatly from old Searchio.

It would be awesome if you could see results of queries inside Alfred itself. Like for example in this GIF (Have to skip to the end).

This is for Albert launcher but it can transferred to Alfred too. Here is the code for Google inline search and here is for YouTube.

Would it be possible to add support for inline searching too in this workflow?

In that implementation _ symbol anywhere in the query triggers inline search. You can also trigger inline search with a modifier so if you ⌃ + ⏎ on a query, it will show results for the query inline in Alfred thus saving the loading time of the entire web page and selecting of result there.

I thought I was mistaken at first but I tested both the workflows and old Searchio most certainly retrieves results faster on the Alfred screen than new version. Perhaps that is because the new version is not optimised yet but the results are noticeable.

Not really sure why this happens, my guess would be caching or something else. Just wanted to mention it, perhaps I am not alone in seeing this and you are aware of it.

I am using old Searchio for now because its faster on my machine and I really like having my query being instantly shown as first results. I am looking at new Searchio v2 code though and would love to help you make it better.

P.S. This was tested on Google (English) and DuckDuckGo (US) Script Filters and both were significantly slower (~ 1-2 second difference) than old Searchio

Perhaps it is unique to my machine, but right now all the searches made with Searchio for DuckDuckGo are scoped to 'United States' :

This for some reason turns off 'instant answers' feature. However when you change the search to 'All Regions', instant answers comes back :

I am very fond of calling my script filters from external triggers and since all the Script Filters are generated right next to the side, I get this little mess:

If you could generate the script filters like in previous Searchio with some space left:

It would be really useful. Other users can also use this space to make Hotkey triggers or something else.

Thank you.

I would personally prefer it as first query or ideally make it configurable so its either always last result or first result (i.e. when you search Safari user query always takes precedence and you have to down arrow to go to google results).

#33 mentions that it won't be added however but at least query as last result was in the plans.

Thanks a lot for this workflow, I love it!

My only occasional issue is that the list of suggested search terms doesn't include the term I actually typed. Sometimes it happens that the autocomplete suggestions are not what I meant so I'd like to search for the exact term I typed.

Example: I want to search for "nintendo", but I can't because all suggestions have been eagerly extended:

This behavior is different from most autosuggest implementations on the web, which almost always list the stuff you typed as the first option in the list of suggestions.

Is there an option to get this behavior for this workflow? If not, would it be possible to add one?

Apparently, because is using an incompatible Python workflow library

Searching for and clicking on this result :

Searches for :

It doesn't seem to affect results but still quite strange I think that it does it.

Hi, it is a fresh alfred-searchio installation. Downloaded from releases from this repo.
No workflow works for me because of the errors:

When I do searchio reload it destroys all the scripts that I wanted to use (g <query> for google search for example).

What am I doing wrong?
