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 or yellow) and not green and apple

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 :)
