Dear all,
I am trying to filter my entries in agenda view by properties
According to the orgmode manual, this can be done with C-c a m
However for me, C-c a m filters only on tags, not on properties. Also
the commands C-c / m and C-c \ give me an error, saying they are
undefined.
Has anybody an idea what is going on? How can I filter properties in
agenda view. and vice versa, how can I exclude a property from agenda
view?
I am running emacs 24.3.1 and orgmode 7.9.3f
Cheers,
Georg

I cannot answer the first part (about properties) but the C-c / commands
are not agenda commands; they are commands available within an org
buffer directly.

Read a little further down. It's all in the syntax, you have to specify a
property name and value.
From the org manual:
C-c a m
Match: BIB_AUTHOR="Walter Evensong"

Thanks for your answer! Unfortunately, it does not work for me as
described in the manual.
For example I have an entry with the Property "Test"
* TODO test
SCHEDULED: <2015-11-01 Sun>
:PROPERTIES:
:CATEGORY: Test
:END:
C-c am
Match: Category=Test
I get a buffer that is empty except for the lines:
Headlines with TAGS match: Category=Test
Press `C-u r' to search again with new search string
Any idea?
Georg

Try putting the value in double-quotes:
Match: Category="Test"

I should have mentioned that I tried quotes and upper case/ lower case,
but no avail... My impression given the message
> Headlines with TAGS match: Category="Test"
> Press `C-u r' to search again with new search string
is that for some reason it only searches for tags.

See
(info "(org) Matching tags and properties")
for the syntax.

I tried a few times with different case in the keyword and in the value -
it seems both are case-sensitive and must match the item in the entries
exactly. And the double-quotes around the value are required.
Now that I look back at your example, I see the search term should be
CATEGORY="Test"

But, on the prompt before you get to this one, it says:
m match a TAGS/PROP/TODO query
