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.

stack [<query>] — Choose a StackExchange site to search.
- ↩ — Select site
- ⌘↩ — Set as default site
- ⌥↩ — Reveal site icon in Finder
- ⌘C — Copy site ID to clipboard (for adding Script Filters)
.so <query> — Search StackOverflow.com for <query>. See below for syntax.
- ↩ or ⌘+NUM — Open result in default browser
- ⌘L — Show full question title in Alfred's Large Text window

Query syntax

Prefix a word in your <query> 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 <siteid> "$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.

Licensing, thanks

This workflow is released under the MIT Licence.

It is heavily based on Alfred-Workflow, also MIT-licensed.

alfred-stackexchange's Issues

400 bad request returned

Import workflow-StackOverflow, open Alfred and type in '.so test', verified 400 bad request returned.

v2.0 has some issues

Firstly the release has .alfred4workflow as extension ending and thus is not openable by Alfred. Had to change it to .alfredworkflow to be recognizable by Alfred and be opened.

Then when I did load it, trying to run the .so script filter I get error in console:

[17:23:49.332] ERROR: StackExchange Search[Script Filter] Code 1: Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "so.py", line 27, in <module>
    from common import CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_KEY
ImportError: No module named common

But not CLIENT_ID and KEY are setup to be defined in wf env variables. Perhaps Im missing something.

Get same error on stack keyword too.

Just noticed it also says ImportError: No module named common so perhaps I have to pip install it inside workflow, not sure.

Add if no question not found open in SO search

It's pretty nice but seems like it only finds questions where the headline is equal to my search query. StackOverflow tries to find similar questions when searching. If this is not possible add something like "Search for xyz on StackOverflow". So it would at least show more questions there.

Is there a way to add support to stack teams?

Hi
I've recently started using stackoverflow teams ("internal" knowledge sharing)
It's the same stackoverflow api and address except one thing it's restricted to authenticated users,
I couldn't figure out how can I add it to the siteids but is there a way? Can I assist in some way?

Multiple word queries not working?

Queries that contain multiple words don't seem to work.

For example, if I search for "scala" I get these results:

Clearly the first result has something to do with Groovy, so if I search for "scala groovy" I would expect to see that question, but instead I see this:
