I have a small utility routine that depends on org-link-search to throw
an error. It knew how to create the missing headline on it's own.
A recent change and the default settings breaks the original behaviour.
Using this as pretext, may I suggest that signature of org-link-search
be changed from
(org-link-search S &optional TYPE AVOID-POS)
to
(org-link-search S &optional TYPE AVOID-POS NOERROR)
or an equivalent one.
ps: A cursory look suggests that the above change would also obviate the
need for dynamically binding org-link-search-inhibit-query.
Thanks,
Jambunathan K.

I think a good solution for your utility would be to bind
(let ((org-link-search-must-match-exact-headline t))
around the body of the function.

I am not sure if I understand this part.

Mistake on my part. (Not a native speaker of elisp here)
((and
(eq org-link-search-must-match-exact-headline 'query-to-create)
(or org-link-search-inhibit-query
(y-or-n-p "No match - create this as a new heading? ")))
(goto-char (point-max))
(or (bolp) (newline))
(insert "* " s "\n")
(beginning-of-line 0))
My gut feeling is that there is some inconsistency in the way
org-link-search-must-match-exact-headline and
org-link-search-inhibit-query work together.
