I put all my org files under a single directory so that a single recursive grep for a regexp over *.org and *.org_archive gets me the information I want.

Carsten Dominik [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Internal commands for this in Org are: 1. multi-occur, a standard emacs command. To apply it to the agenda files, call it through the agenda dispatcher, for me this is `C-c a /'. That does not include any archive files though. To do so, get the new version from the git repo and do (setq org-agenda-text-search-extra-files '(agenda-archives)) Great! I learn more useful org-mode/Emacs commands everyday :) 2. You can also use search view, which is a new agenda view and allows you to search for multiple words and/or regexps which all need to match in an entry, not necessarily in a single line. It searches for whole words, not partial words. Hmm, maybe it should for partial words as well? C-c a S +word1 +word2 -excludethisword RET C-c a s +word1 +word2 -excludethisword RET ^ lowercase 's' This also searched the extra files defined above. I tried this with the org-agenda-text-search-extra-files setting above and it runs through each of my archives stating they don't exist. non-existent file todo.org_archive. [R]emove from list or [A]bort? Maybe it's looking in the wrong directory? Thanks for this. I can see this will be really useful for digging up my old notes in my (now huge) org files (and their archives) :-) Regards, Bernt ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Hi Leo, is M-x org-occur-in-agenda-files what you are looking for? Dear All, Have you ever wanted to retrieve some information from your org files regarding some projects? I wonder whether a command similar to `occur' but applies to all files listed in `org-agenda-files' and their corresponding ARCHIVED files might be desirable for org users. Thank you for considering this proposal. Regards, -- .: Leo :. [ sdl.web AT gmail.com ] .: [ GPG Key: 9283AA3F ] :.

I have org-mode store my agenda file list in a separate file instead of the .emacs. So I can do something like: grep ^foo$ `cat ~/.agenda_files` I can't say I've had the need to.
