There are 3 categories of Org files: org-agenda-files, org-agenda-text-search-extra-files, and other files.
An agenda text search without restriction will search in the first two categories. A search with restriction to a member of other files will search that file (good and expected) and also org-agenda-text-search-extra-files (might or might not be good but was not expected). Might be worth documenting how to restrict without also searching org-agenda-text-search-extra-files? Samuel -- The Kafka Pandemic: http://thekafkapandemic.blogspot.com The disease DOES progress.
