10.3.5 Search view
------------------
This agenda view is a general text search facility for Org mode entries.
It is particularly useful to find notes.
‘C-c a s (org-search-view)’
This is a special search that lets you select entries by matching a
substring or specific words using a boolean logic.
For example, the search string ‘computer equipment’ will find entries
that contain ‘computer equipment’ as a substring. If the two words are
separated by more space or a line break, the search will still match.
Search view can also search for specific keywords in the entry, using
Boolean logic. The search string ‘+computer +wifi -ethernet
-{8\.11[bg]}’ will search for note entries that contain the keywords
‘computer’ and ‘wifi’, but not the keyword ‘ethernet’, and which are
also not matched by the regular expression ‘8\.11[bg]’, meaning to
exclude both 8.11b and 8.11g. The first ‘+’ is necessary to turn on
word search, other ‘+’ characters are optional. For more details, see
the docstring of the command ‘org-search-view’.
Note that in addition to the agenda files, this command will also
search the files listed in ‘org-agenda-text-search-extra-files’.
