Previous: Matching tags and properties, Up: Built-in agenda views
This agenda view is a general text search facility for Org mode entries. It is particularly useful to find notes.
This is a special search that lets you select entries by matching a substring or specific words using a boolean logic.
For example, the search string ‘computer equipment’ will find entries
that contain ‘computer equipment’ as a substring.
Search view can also search for specific keywords in the entry, using Boolean
logic. The search string ‘+computer +wifi -ethernet -{8\.11[bg]}’
will search for note entries that contain the keywords computer
and wifi
, but not the keyword ethernet
, and which are also
not matched by the regular expression 8\.11[bg]
, meaning to
exclude both 8.11b and 8.11g.
Note that in addition to the agenda files, this command will also search
the files listed in org-agenda-text-search-extra-files
.
