Can we filter our own questions based on acceptance of an answer?

I try to keep my acceptance rate at above 90%. Is there a way to filter for questions that have not been accepted so I don't have to check every one? Seems silly but as the number of questions grows the task gets harder.

Currently, I know of no way to filter out questions with an accepted answer. The fastest way is to look for the green rectangles around the number of answers:

The posts with the green rectangles have an accepted answer. (I'm sorry if you already know this, it's the only way I know to look for questions with(out) accepted answers other than opening them).

• No actually I didn't know it so it's a big help. Thanks. – daniel Oct 4 '12 at 16:48
• Note that on other sites, the indication might be different. For example, on Physics.SE, it is a green circle, on GameDev.SE it is a green hexagon, and on Stats.SE it is a green triangle. However, on all the sites I have seen, it is green highlight of some sort. – robjohn Oct 4 '12 at 17:13
• No offense to you robjohn, obviously a very valued member of the community, but OP, let this be a lesson in waiting a little bit to see if someone else can provide a better answer before accepting one. – Graphth Oct 4 '12 at 19:40
• @Graphth: daniel is free to accept Martin Sleziak's answer instead if he feels that it answers his question better. – robjohn Oct 4 '12 at 20:32
• Recently there was a meta.SO question about the same thing: Indication on main question page that the question is answered – Martin Sleziak Oct 8 '12 at 12:39

If you have a look at help for advanced search you will find out that hasaccepted:1 returns questions which have an accepted answer and hasaccepted:0 retuns questions which do not have an accepted answer.

You might want to sort the search results according to your preference (newest/active).

To find your own questions without an accepted answer you can search for hasaccepted:0 user:me. (And again, you can then sort the results in the way which is suitable for you.)

• Nice! I had never noticed that. – robjohn Oct 4 '12 at 16:58
• Awesome! Because I like this answer, I will star this question. – Graphth Oct 4 '12 at 19:19
• Intresting. If only we could also avoid people who refuse to accept any answer. (accept rate 1% or less). Although accept rates depends on the difficulty of the question accepting less than 2% is probably silly. – mick Oct 4 '12 at 21:29
