I struggled with finding my own question that finally was on StackOverflow. First, I had checked Unix & Linux, then AskUbuntu, then SuperUser.

I will not be the only one with that problem, there is some need for a cross Stack Exchange search through all of a user's questions.

I have found two similar feature requests:

How can I view all my unaccepted questions across SE? is the SEDE solution, which could be a workaround as well for this feature request here, I would like to know the SEDE that would work like this feature request. But better would be a new user filter in the cross Stack Exchange search.

It should work like this:

The is:question filter works (here is the link):

    Fun bit: user:me doesn't work but user:811 does work and that is only because Shog9 has the same userid on many sites. Atwood has 1 ....

    Is there a way to search among all of my questions from all sites? – it turns out that I already wrote a query for exactly that. (I'm not using my dupehammer; this is a feature request, that is a support question.)

  • @Glorfindel I still should have found it, I am lucky that it was "support" tagged.

  • I should have found it before answering your question :)

  • @Glorfindel I would say your answer is needed in both places. The SEDE query is like a first prototype of the feature. "It turns out that I already wrote a query exactly for that". That is the right 100K meta member! :) Thank you for your work.

I've written a network-wide search template SEDE query a while ago. You might want to give it a try. It searches through questions, answers and comments; feel free to fork it and adapt it to your needs.

This query shows your posts and comments across the network containing the word 'java'.

    Great. works, but: loading time was > 1 min. That is perhaps the reason why it has not been put in the cross Stack Exchange search?

    Stack Exchange search is based on Elastic, which is faster than SQL for this kind of thing. Parallelization may also play a role.

  • Thanks, I have added the elasticsearch tag.
