Editorial Workflows

SelectAndSearch

public workflow

Install Workflow...

This workflow contains at least one Python script. Only use it if you trust the person who shared this with you, and if you know exactly what it does.

I understand, install the workflow!

This is a workflow for Editorial, a Markdown and plain text editor for iOS. To download it, you need to view this page on a device that has the app installed.

Description: Perform a global search on the selected word(s). Kinda like a wiki or tag browser. Slightly modified version of the default Global Search workflow.
