Again C-c a m does this, after you have remembered how the syntax for tags and property searches works. - Carsten >> > > Hi Ilya, > > start with the manual, and the FAQ, and then see what remains > of your questions/requests. > > - Carsten > >> >> >> ilya >> >> On Thu, Jan 29, 2009 at 8:18 AM, Bernt Hansen >> wrote: >>> Ilya Shlyakhter writes: >>> >>>> Is it possible to filter the timeline view (agenda) by tag and/or >>>> by >>>> headline regexp? >>>> >>>> I use orgmode for a research notebook, where the outline organizes >>>> ideas on various projects and sub-projects. >>>> I put timestamps into entries when I work on them, so that I can >>>> use >>>> the Timeline agenda view to quickly find recently >>>> worked-on items.
