This seems to have a problem with the plus sign: for example 5+6 gives the answer 30  Grin

hahaha nice catch oiosaveloy  Grin

lanux, to fix it change the alias from:
[copy or print]
    <AliasEntry>
        <AliasText>WolframAlpha</AliasText>
        <Score>1000</Score>
        <Regex>^wa (.*)</Regex>
        <Results>
            <Result>WolframAlpha: $$1 | http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=$$1 /ICON=icons\wolframalpha.ico</Result>
        </Results>
    </AliasEntry>
to:
[copy or print]
    <AliasEntry>
        <AliasText>WolframAlpha</AliasText>
        <Score>1000</Score>
        <Regex>^wa (.*)</Regex>
        <Results>
            <Result>WolframAlpha: $$1 | http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=$$u1 /ICON=icons\wolframalpha.ico</Result>
        </Results>
    </AliasEntry>

the use of $$u1 instead of $$1 when calling the url tells farr to urlencode the arguement which survives the browser call properly.
