# Search OmniFocus Alfred Workflow
## What is this?
This is a workflow for [Alfred](http://www.alfredapp.com/) that performs free text searches on [OmniFocus](http://www.omnigroup.com/omnifocus) data.
## Why would I want such a thing?
Well, I want it because I can't quickly search for, say, a task within OmniFocus using OmniFocus' search field. OmniFocus restricts search results to the current perspective or selection. [Other people have noticed this too](https://discourse.omnigroup.com/t/how-to-search-all-content-a-via-changed-perspective/366).
## How to install
[Download the `.workflow` file from the Releases page](https://github.com/rhydlewis/search-omnifocus/releases/).
## How to use
## Note
This workflow only works with OmniFocus 3.
### Searching for tasks
* Search for all tasks within OmniFocus (irrespective of status) with `.s`:
![](./images/search-for-tasks.png)
Note, use `.sc` to search for completed tasks only.

### Searching for tasks in the Inbox and the Library
* Search for all tasks within OmniFocus (whether you've processed them or not) with `.se`.
### Searching the inbox
* Search the OmniFocus inbox with `.i`:
![](./images/search-inbox.png)
or just list all tasks in the inbox with `.li`.
### Searching for projects
* Search for projects with `.p`:

### Searching for tags or contexts
* Search for a specific tag with `.t` or context with `.c`:

![](./images/search-for-context.png)or just list all tags with `.lt` or contexts with `.lc`:

## Thanks to...
* [Dean Jackson](https://github.com/deanishe): the [Python library for Alfred workflows](https://github.com/deanishe/alfred-workflow) does most of the heavy lifting. Excellent stuff, thank you.
* [Marko Kaestner](https://github.com/markokaestner): I used the [in-depth workflow](https://github.com/markokaestner/of-task-actions) to provide some insight into how to search Omnifocus.
* [Danny Smith](https://github.com/dannysmith): for providing a new, and quite frankly, much improved workflow icon.
