todo-mode: Searching for Items

 
 9 Searching for Items
 *********************
 
 It can be useful to be able to locate and examine all todo items that
 fit certain criteria, regardless of which category they belong to.  One
 way to do this in Todo mode is by sequentially searching in the file:
 
 ‘S’
      This command (‘todo-search’; the key is capital ‘S’) prompts for a
      regular expression, searches from the beginning of the current todo
      file and displays the category containing the first match it finds,
      with the match highlighted.  If there are further matches, a
      message saying how many are left is displayed and you are asked if
      you want to go to the next match.  When you reach the last match,
      or if you decide not to go to further matches, you are asked
      whether the match highlighting should be removed.
 
 ‘X’
      This command (‘todo-clear-matches’) removes any highlighting added
      by ‘S’.  This is so you can leave the matches highlighted at the
      end of the search and remove the highlighting later.
 
    These commands are also available in Todo Archive mode.
