Indeed!  That’s great, I didn’t know that this is possible.  The custom
agenda commands of type “search” also support more complex searches like
“-{author:.*burkov} semimetal”.  This solves my searching problem rather
well.

Does org mode support such advanced searches also in other places?  It
doesn’t seem to be possible for “sparse tree” views of a single file.

This is no problem at all, it could be even automatized.

If speed ever becomes a problem, I’ll see what can be done about it.
