I’m going through @MacSparky’s Alfred Field Guide (excellent like all of his guides, I highly recommend it). I’m trying to set up a custom web search to search my blog for specific content. All I get is the homepage, not the blog article(s) I try searching for. What am I doing wrong? My blog is on Squarespace.
I think this will do it: https://barrett-mosbacker.squarespace.com/search?q={query}
Thanks! I needed to add the full URL:
https://barrett-mosbacker.squarespace.com/search?q={query}
why “search?q” s= as in the field guide?

Excellent! Websites have varying paths/formats for their search result pages. You have to make a real search on a site, then copy the URL and substitute {query} where you see your test search term. The s={query} format only applied to the example David was using in the guide.
