Search Obsidian from Alfred

This is possibly too obvious to share, but I was quite pleased to get it working:

To make a custom search in Alfred for a given vault, just use obsidian://search?vault=VaultNameHere&query={query}, where “VaultNameHere” is the name of the vault you want to search. To be able to hit Cmd-Space and type “o whatever query” and immediately search in Obsidian feels magical.

I’ve also made one to search this forum: https://forum.obsidian.md/search?q={query}, which I search with the keyword “f.o”.

The following Aflred workflow can also be very useful. One can switch vaults, search for Markdown notes, add text to an inbox note, etc.

Seems to be a bit outdated as of 2024. This one looks much more active: GitHub - chrisgrieser/shimmering-obsidian: Alfred Workflow with dozens of features for controlling your Obsidian vault.
