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.
