Out of curiosity, do date trees currently have any built in search functions or sparse tree searching ability? I currently use timestamps to capture things under the current month like this: * Journals ** 2012 August *** [2012-08-09 Fri] Did something - Notes - About - What I did This is nice as I need to print my notes for an intellectual property documentation notebook. I have a recurring deadline todo to remind me to print my orgmode notes and permanently tape them in my IP notebook. With timestamps (and the new sparse tree time functionality you added!) I can just search for all time stamps after my last completion date, mark any relevant with :export: and am on my way. When done, I can just replace-string :export: -> "" and the file is back to normal. Date trees would make this easier as I like using capture... but I don't like having to change my .emacs each month to make the adjustment of =3D** July 2012=3D as the target headline to =3DAugust 2012= =3D. Date trees are the obvious way to be able to do this, but they don't have any of the neat search functionality that I know of.
