I have been trying to figure out a way to search Evernote from Flow Launcher (as I am sure others have, as well). The following is my rudimentary result which at least allows me to start a search from Flow and then have that search performed in a Evernote window.
There are several components to getting this to work. First, here is the AutoIt script I wrote:
What the above does is the following:
It is admittedly not super-fast, but it works. :)
Now, the next step is we need a way to call this script from Flow Launcher and pass our search phrase to it. For that we can use the Plugin Runner: https://github.com/jjw24/Wox.Plugin.Runner
And configure it like so:
Now, when within Flow Launcher you can type
r e
and then your search phrase (multiple words are supported with the above config) and when you hit Enter the search will be passed to Evernote where it will be performed. :)If desired, one can add to Flow Launcher Hotkeys a Custom Query Hotkey (eg, Ctrl+ Shift + E) to pre-populate a Flow query with
r e
. Then you can call your hotkey, launch Flow, type your search, hit Enter and wait for Evernote. Though at that point you'd probably be better off with just using the Evernote hotkey directly.If someone feels inspired to take this idea and convert it to a plugin of its own, have at it! I just ask that you credit me with a public link and acknowledgment of some kind for the original idea, etc. :)
Enjoy!
