Google's not the place to look! For once. One of the main principles of
Emacs, and thus of Org mode, is that it is self-documenting. You'll get
a better sense of what `org-agenda-custom-commands' does, and how to use
it, by hitting "C-h v org-agenda-custom-commands" than you will from any
other source. There's even a clickable link to customize it.
If that's not enough, read the manual: "C-h i m Org Mode <RET> g Custom
Agenda Views <RET>".
Do that first, then ask here!
Eric
