1. I would like to still see the same top-level tree that I see now when I = shift-Tab e.g:

* Admin
* Drupal
* MacOS
* Linux
* Time Reports

So if I create drupal.org that contains the contents of "* Drupal", and I remove "*= Drupal" from work.org, is there a way to still see my top level tree including "Drupal&qu= ot;?

2. Is there a way I can search for a string across all of my .org files fro= m within orgmode?

C-c a s
This is a special search that lets you select entries= by matching a substring or specific words using a boolean logic
