I think it's a neat addition -- especially useful when you want to compare to _small_ list of items.

I do fall prey to that sometimes. However I was wondering, block agenda commands might work at least for doing multiple searches. But I don't think there is any interactive interface to it. If we could have some syntax for specifying prompts for custom agenda commands (something like capture templates) then it might be possible.

I reckon your use-case makes sense, but I'm not sure how useful it would be in general. It would be a bit like being able to open several email inboxes at the same time, for the sake of comparing informations from various folders. Email inboxes and agenda views are made to be _processed_: having more than one open at the same time might lead to the bad habit of fiddling with buffers instead of processing agenda items...

Is it possible to have multiple Org Agenda buffers open say, if you want different search results side by side? I know you can put different search results in the *same* agenda buffer, but that wasn't quite what I had in mind (though I will fall back on this if two agenda buffers is unfeasible) For various technical reasons such as markers that are removed when a new agenda buffer is produced and many other details, several agenda buffers are not supported currently. You could consider making a block agenda with several parts, and then use side-by-side windows to look at different places in that same buffer.

For the use case of simply viewing two search results side by side, renaming an agenda buffer seems to work: - open the agenda view: C-c a a - M-x rename-buffer RET new.name RET - open a second agenda view: C-c a t The problem with this approach is that any agenda command you use in the renamed agenda buffer will be confused and probably not work. A solution to this might be to make some variables (including org-agenda-buffer-name and org-agenda-type) buffer-local to this renamed buffer, but I have no idea if this could work or what other variables would have to be included.
