Hello all,

I'd like to implement some sort of "interactive" search in the agenda,
as the subject says.

Consider a.org that contains something like this:

:PROPERTIES:
:Sample: S0001
:Request: R0001
:END:

and a second file that contains

:PROPERTIES:
:Sample: S0001
:Request: R0001
:END:

Both files are agenda files.  What I'd like to be able to do is the
following:

1. Hit C-c a
2. In the dispatcher, hit `X'
3. I get prompted which Property I want to search for, and I enter `Sample'
4. I get prompted which value I want that property to have, and I enter
   `S0002'
5. I get a list of all hits

Now, I know that I can achieve this by using

1. Hit C-c a
2. Hit `m'
3. Enter `+Sample="S0002"'

but that's too much typing for my taste.

Is there a way to achieve what I want?

Thanks and Cheers
Markus
