Search OmniFocus Alfred Workflow

What is this?

This is a workflow for Alfred 2 that performs free text searches on 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.

How to use

Searching for tasks

  • Search for all tasks within OmniFocus (irrespective of status) with .s

Searching the inbox

  • Search the OmniFocus inbox with .i

Searching for projects

  • Search for projects with .p

Searching for contexts

  • Search for a specific context with .c or just list all contexts with .lc

Searching for perspectives

  • Search for a specific perspective with .v or just list all perspectives with .lv

Searching for folders

  • Search for a specific folder with .f or just list all perspectives with .lf

Narrowing results

  • Search just for active tasks with .sa or just for active projects with .pa
