# Alfred - Google Search
**Tested with Alfred 3**
This workflow allows you to do in-line Google searches right from the Alfred bar.
You can either open the result URL or copy it to clipboard.
## IMPORTANT
Adapted from [gsearch's README](https://github.com/aviaryan/python-gsearch)
> Overusing this workflow might lead to your IP being blocked by Google Search servers.
Searches through Chrome or another browser might still work but this workflow will stop working.
I recommend keeping a 10-15 seconds gap after each usage of this workflow.
In most cases, much lower gaps or even continuous use of the workflow will still work but still this is something to be kept in mind.
If you see a 'rate limit' or a 503 error, it's best to stop using the workflow and try back after some time (~1 minute).
## Installing
Download [Google Search workflow file](https://github.com/aviaryan/alfred-google-search/raw/master/Google%20Search.alfredworkflow)
and double click to open it with Alfred.
## Using
```sh
# search, ENTER to open result in browser
# search, ⌘C on item to copy URL to clipboard
gs query
```
## Screenshots
## Inspiration
[Vinta's workflow](https://github.com/vinta/alfred-google-inline-workflow).
It doesn't work right now and probably it never will,
and this gave me the motivation to create this workflow with a different approach.
I hope this workflow will continue working for some time to come.
