1. Using "/" in agenda does not really show agenda buffer. It shows the
   built-in "occur" buffer searching matching lines across agenda files.

2. When you need time information, you need to tell Org agenda which
   time period to search for. This is what agenda for day/week ("a" in
   the menu) is doing. In agenda for day/week you can select the date
   and time range where to match Org headings. You can change the
   selected time period by pressing "v" in agenda and selecting the
   desired menu option. You can jump between periods using "j" (jump to
   day) or f/b to move to the adjacent periods

3. Once in day/week agenda, you can limit the displayed entries to
   arbitrary search term matches using "=" (M-x
   org-agenda-filter-by-regexp). There are also similar functions M-x
   org-agenda-filter-by-... to limit the displayed entries by
   tag/property, effort, category, etc.

4. If you log time spent doing certain task or enable org-log-done, you
   may also use inactive timestamp mode "v [" to display when the test
   changes its todo state or is clocked in.

Hope it helps.
