The parentheses are redundant. Perhaps it is an Aquamacs issue. With GnuEmacs 24 on Linux, the following search works fine: C-c / / TODO\|STARTED That said, for this use, a TODO keyword search will be quicker and more accurate, as the regexp search above will match "todo" or "started" anywhere in the buffer. Here's the todo search: C-c / T TODO|STARTED Best, Matt _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
