The main action (keyword stack

python
with the query requests
.

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.
