# Alfred Web Searches
> [Alfred](https://www.alfredapp.com/) workflow to search through any website (easily extendable list)
This workflow similar to [DuckDuckGo Bangs](https://duckduckgo.com/bang?) allows you to fuzzy search through a selection of websites that you can [add and contribute to](workflow/websites.csv).
You simply search for the website you want to scope your search too, press enter and make your search.
Some results have a prefix to signify the scope of the search. For example results prefixed with `r:` will search through Reddit subreddits. Here is the full list of prefixes and their descriptions.
| Prefix | Description |
| ------ | ----------------------------- |
| r: | Search subreddits on Reddit |
| d: | Search documentation websites |
| g: | Search GitHub |
| s: | Search stack exchange sites |
| f: | Search forums |
| t: | Search Google Translate |
Each prefix also has a corresponding icon for visual feedback of prefix meaning.
And since the workflow allows for fuzzy searching, you can even make searches like that:
And they will match.
You can also attach a hotkey that will take the selected text and then will let you search for that text on any of the websites.
## Install
Download workflow from [GitHub releases](../../releases/latest).
See [here](https://github.com/deanishe/awgo/wiki/Catalina) for instructions on fixing permissions in macOS refusing to run Go binary.
## Setup
The workflow is written in [Go](https://golang.org/) and uses [AwGo](https://github.com/deanishe/awgo) library for all Alfred related things.
It uses [modd](https://github.com/cortesi/modd) and [Alfred command](https://godoc.org/github.com/jason0x43/go-alfred/alfred) to ease its development.
## Run
1. Run `alfred link` (makes symbolic link of [`workflow`](workflow) directory)
2. Run `modd` (starts a process that automatically builds the workflow with `alfred build` on any changes you make to `.go` files, this builds and places a binary inside [`workflow`](workflow) directory.)
3. Make changes to code or modify Alfred objects to do what you want! Open debugger in Alfred or run the workflow with `workflow:log` passed in as argument to see the logs Alfred produces.
## Contribute
Always open to useful ideas or fixes in form of issues or PRs.
Can [open new issue](../../issues/new/choose) (search [existing issues](../../issues) first) or [start discussion](../../discussions).
It's okay to submit draft PR as you can get help along the way to make it merge ready.
