I'm trying to build a keyword search in Alfred to search Yojimbo. It seems, though, Yojimbo's search feature can't be accessed via AppleScript. Is that true? I loaded the Yojimbo library into AppleScript and I see a command called 'reveal' but I can't figure out how to use it, if it would be useful at all for my purposes.

Any insight would be appreciated.

UPDATE: instead of using AppleScript to search Yojimbo I discovered I could simply add the Yojimbo file type to the search scope of Alfred. Be sure the ~/Library/Caches/Metadata file path is included in the Default Results Search Scope under the Features tab in Alfred Preferences. One word of warning: the more user-defined file types you add to Alfred the slower the search results will get so use sparingly.

Just out of curiosity, what file type is that?

I see there was once an extension, but the page is no longer around (it was mentioned in this article: http://www.cultofmac.com/132934/5-awesome-things-you-can-do-with-alfred-on-your-mac/ )

Never mind, I found the answer on my own.

In the ~/Library/Caches/Metadata/com.barebones.yojimbo/ folder I saw the various files of types such as yojimboserialnumber, yojimbopassword, and yojimbonote, etc. Dragged them to the user file type preference box and I'm all set.

Thanks for the hint.
