Hi Leo and others,
Internal commands for this in Org are:
1. multi-occur, a standard emacs command. To apply it to the
agenda files, call it through the agenda dispatcher, for me this
is `C-c a /'.
That does not include any archive files though. To do so,
get the new version from the git repo and do
(setq org-agenda-text-search-extra-files '(agenda-archives))
2. You can also use search view, which is a new agenda view and allows
you
to search for multiple words and/or regexps which all need to match
in an
entry, not necessarily in a single line. It searches for whole
words, not
partial words. Hmm, maybe it should for partial words as well?
C-c a S +word1 +word2 -excludethisword RET
This also searched the extra files defined above.
