Hi there,
Does anybody now how to search the content of a linked file ? I have a
master file that is included in org-agenda file list. This file contains
links to other research project related org files. Unfortunately, is seems
that only way to search the content of the link file is to include it in
the agenda file list, ideally I prefer not to do this.
To illustrate the problem, lets say I have a file myfile.org, which is
included in the list of org agenda files.
myfile.org contains the following
* Apples
* Pears
* [[file:~/test.org][Farmers]]
Similarly, test.org contains
* Jack
- Cheapest supplier of Apples
- Deliver
* Joe
- Pear supplies and other vegetables
* Bill
- Potential supplier
Lets say I want to do a keyword search for vegetables, I would hit C-a s.
The problem is that unless I include test.org in the agenda file list, it
doesn't work.
I appreciate any help or suggestion.
Cheers
M

See the variable org-agenda-text-search-extra-files. It seems to be exactly
what you want.

Hi Darlan,
This is almost what I am looking for. I would be nice if I could get it to
drill down into subdirectories.
All my work is located in a directory called research that contains a
several directory related to different projects.
The problem with this variable is that works only for files in a fixed
directory.
cheers

Maybe this will help.
This defines a custom function:
<https://github.com/suvayu/.emacs.d/blob/master/lisp/nifty.el#L98>
I use the above function in these agenda commands:
<https://github.com/suvayu/.emacs.d/blob/master/org-mode-config.el#L379>

Hi Suvayu,
This is did the trick. More specifically
combining find-org-file-recursively with org-agenda-text-search-extra-files
allowed me drill down in multiple subdirectory.
Thank you.
Cheers
