10.3.5 Keyword search

This agenda view is a general text search facility for Org mode entries. It is particularly useful to find notes.

C-c a s

This is a special search that lets you select entries by keywords or regular expression, using a boolean logic. For example, the search string

          +computer +wifi -ethernet -{8\.11[bg]}
     

will search for note entries that contain the keywords computer and wifi, but not the keyword ethernet, and which are also not matched by the regular expression 8\.11[bg], meaning to exclude both 8.11b and 8.11g.

Note that in addition to the agenda files, this command will also search the files listed in org-agenda-text-search-extra-files.
