I want to search through the answers to my questions. How can I do this?

For example:

votes:10 is:answer questionBy:me

I searched meta for this already, and found a ton of questions about searching my own questions, but not about searching answers to my quesitons.

    This question is making my head spin. That, and the rum. Mostly the rum.

    Not what you're asking, but for future reference: to search in one specific question, one can use inquestion:19478 unicorn or inquestion:this unicorn, once one knows in which question to search.

    Does this answer your question? Search inside my own answers

  • @bad_coder This question is "the answers to my questions"; that one is "my own answers." They are not duplicates.

  • @RyanM you're right, my mistake (reading through the tag got to me this time.)

I wrote a Data Explorer query that does this. You can search the body of answers given to your questions. As the data explorer gets updated weekly, this is a workable solution till advanced search gets an update (if).

It can also handle upper and lower limits for vote count of answers.

Update :

Now also handles accepted status of answers!

Update #2:

Now question tags can also be searched!

Update #3:

Search within your answers to your questions! (that is, self answers or self-answered questions)
