Hey orgsters,

I'm trying to have agenda show me a list of untagged tasks. Someone in
#orgmode suggested using the regexp brackets {}, but the following tag
matches produces nothing:

1) {}
2) +{}
3) -{}

How would I match all TODOs that are untagged?

Thanks for any pointers.

Jeff

  For me this works. I am not sure about you.

    Noorul,
    
    Thanks for your help in #org-mode this evening. I'm posting my
    question here in case others have advice between now and morning (on
    my side of the earth).
    
    Noorul (and others),
    
    This works when in the agenda view, which is fine if I have scheduled
    tasks. But if I want to catch unscheduled, untagged tasks using a
    custom agenda command, how would I do that?
    
    TIA,
    Jeff

      Why don't you bring unscheduled tasks to Agenda buffer? I always has my
      TODOs in Agenda buffer.

  You'd need
  
  -{.}

  For example with
  
  -{.}/!

        The section of the manual that you quote in your item 2) contains the
        answer to 1): read the last paragraph and the examples - carefully!
        
        As for 2), I think that the answer is "yes".

          For a few more examples, you might also consult the Worg tutorial on
          searching, especially the "Property searches" section:
          
          http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/advanced-searching.php#property-searches
          
          Best,
          Matt
