Alfred + Government Directory

Peter Rukavina

Here’s a quick solution to finding Government of Prince Edward Island telephone numbers using the excellent Alfred app for the Mac. Under Preferences | Custom Searches, enter the following:

  • Search URL: http://www.gov.pe.ca/phone/index.php3?lname={query}
  • Title: Government Telephone Number
  • Keyword: gov

You can optionally copy-and-paste the PEI wordmark into the icon field.

With that set up you just hit your Alfred hot key, and then type gov [lastname] (where [lastname] is the last name of the person you’re looking for):

Results open in your browser in the regular Government of PEI Telephone and Email Directory.
