7.3 Property searches
=====================
To create sparse trees and special lists with selection based on
properties, the same commands are used as for tag searches (Tag
searches).
‘C-c / m or C-c \ (org-match-sparse-tree)’
Create a sparse tree with all matching entries. With a ‘C-u’
prefix argument, ignore headlines that are not a TODO line.
‘C-c a m (org-tags-view)’
Create a global list of tag/property matches from all agenda files.
Matching tags and properties.
‘C-c a M (org-tags-view)’
Create a global list of tag matches from all agenda files, but
check only TODO items and force checking of subitems (see the
option ‘org-tags-match-list-sublevels’).
The syntax for the search string is described in Matching tags
and properties.
There is also a special command for creating sparse trees based on a
single property:
‘C-c / p’
Create a sparse tree based on the value of a property. This first
prompts for the name of a property, and then for a value. A sparse
tree is created with all entries that define this property with the
given value. If you enclose the value in curly braces, it is
interpreted as a regular expression and matched against the
property values.
