7.3 Property searches
To create sparse trees and special lists with selection based on properties,
the same commands are used as for tag searches (see Tag searches).
- C-c / m or C-c \ (
org-match-sparse-tree
) -
Create a sparse tree with all matching entries. With a
C-u prefix argument, ignore headlines that are not a TODO line.
- C-c a m (
org-tags-view
) -
Create a global list of tag/property matches from all agenda files.
See Matching tags and properties.
- C-c a M (
org-tags-view
) -
Create a global list of tag matches from all agenda files, but check
only TODO items and force checking of subitems (see the option
org-tags-match-list-sublevels
).
The syntax for the search string is described in Matching tags and properties.
There is also a special command for creating sparse trees based on a
single property:
- C-c / p
-
Create a sparse tree based on the value of a property. This first
prompts for the name of a property, and then for a value. A sparse tree
is created with all entries that define this property with the given
value. If you enclose the value in curly braces, it is interpreted as
a regular expression and matched against the property values.
