Is there a way to MOVE multiple headlines, along with their content, that match a search to a new file. C-c a m +orgmode+howto moved to file ~/notes/org/howto-090704.org C-c a m +orgmode+diary moved to file ~/notes/org/diary-090704.org
Not that I know of. It might be possible, however, to (1) make a command that tags each entry with :MARK: (similar to marking in dired -- you don't need this, but would add completeness) (2) make a command that tags /matching/ items (you need this) and (3) make a command that moves all marked entries (using org-refile). Thus, it could be a generic marking mechanism like dired, and it could work for the outline in addition to the agenda. Not that that helps you :). -- Myalgic encephalomyelitis denialism is causing death and severe suffering, worse than multiple sclerosis. It is corrupting science in the most foul way possible.

Hi Deric,
no, we do not have something like this.
however, this ie Emacs. So you can use keyboard macros:
- Do your search
- in the agenda, start a keyboard macro with `C-x ('
- Use TAB to go to the entry
- Refile it with `C-c C-w'
- `C-x C-o' to go back to the agenda window
- DOWNARROW to reach the next row
- `C-x )' to end the macro
The press `C-x e' to execute the keyboard macro for additional lines.
I sort-of like the ide to refile entries by the bunch
from the agenda, though. I'll put it on my TODO list. However, that
list
is full with more urgent stuff.....

Both of these would be killer features IMHO. This type of UI in mutt
(tagging messages) is great for dealing with large amounts of items.
I tried to figure out the best way to do this a couple months ago,
but it was a little over my head for my level of elisp proficiency.
Ideally, I wanted to show all of the data about to be moved in a
separate frame, as there is totally the possibility of destroying a
large amount of data in this way.

Bulk action is now implemented in the agenda (org-mode 6.28,
jeleased a few minutes ago). I don't think we need it in the
outline - if you go through to mark many entries with a tag
or so, you can then use an agenda search to find the marked
entries and execute the bulk action from the agenda.

Awesome. Thanks for all the work here.
