StackExchange Search for Alfred
Search for answers on StackExchange sites from Alfred 4+.
Download
Get StackExchange for Alfred from GitHub releases.
Usage
The main action (keyword stack
) shows a list of all StackExchange
sites. Choose one to search it.
There is also a search for StackOverflow.com configured (keyword
.so
), but it is easy to add searches for your own favourite
StackExchange sites.

Query syntax
Prefix a word in your
with .
(full stop) to indicate that
it's a tag, e.g requests .python
will search for answers tagged
python
with the query requests
.
Results
Answered questions will be shown first in the list of results (and have a green check mark on their icon).
Adding custom searches
You can easily add your own searches for specific sites by adding your own Script Filter with the following Script:
/usr/bin/python so.py search --site "$1"
The easiest way to do this is to make and edit a copy of the built-in StackOverflow.com search.
To get a site ID, use the site search (keyword stack
) and hit ⌘C
on
the desired site to copy its ID to the clipboard.
You can also use ⌥↩
on a site to reveal its icon in Finder.
