From what I have seen, most of the org-mode manual documentation about
searching or matching tags and properties is about the former, rather
than the latter. How would I search out all the headlines that have a
property of a certain value? For example:
** Tigger
:PROPERTIES:
:species: tiger
:color: striped
:clothing: none
:END:
** Eeyore
:PROPERTIES:
:species: donkey
:color: grey
:clothing: none
:END:
** Winnie The Pooh
:PROPERTIES:
:species: bear
:color: yellow
:clothing: red shirt
:END:
How would I search for all the tigers?
Thanks.

((tags "+species=\"tiger\")))))

Well, that put me on the right track. I wasn't looking for a persistent
custom search command, just one I could execute ad hoc, since sometimes
I'd be looking for tigers and sometimes for bears, etc.
But with this to go on, I found that
C-c a m species="tiger"
does what I want.
Previously, my problem was I was not using the quotes.
Thanks.
