Bear Hunter - Alfred 3 Workflow
Lets you globally search for notes and use system wide hot-keys with the Bear notes taking application.
Hot-Key
There is currently just one hot-key defined. It brings Bear to the front, resets it's state and focus the search field. You need to assign the key you want to use inside of the workflow. I personally use Command+Alt+b for the key combination.
The global Bear Notes Search
- Use spaces to separate for any one of multiple words: 'this that'.
- Use quotes to search for the phrase: '"this that"'
- Use + to "require" a word: 'this +that'
- Use - to "exclude" a word: 'this -that'
- Use * to allow any characters in that place: #*/test (notes which have a subtag ending on test)
Remember that Bear stores its notes as raw markdown like text. Use this to your advantage in searches.
Example 1:
red yellow -green +apple
Searches for all notes which containing the words "red" or "yellow" but not the word "green". And all of them must contain the word "apple".
(red
oryellow)and notgreenandapple
Example 2:
project +#work*/client1 +"mysql"
Searches for all notes containing the words "project" and "mysql" having a tag that starts with "work" and ends with the subtag "client1"
Example 3:
[*.j*g] [*.png] [*.gif]
Searches for all Notes containing a jpeg, gif or png image.
Example 4:
```meta*saveas:*
Searches for all notes with a BearNanny saved code block :)
