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&= quot;

* TODO test
SCHEDULED: <2015-11-01 Sun>
:PROPERTIES:
:CATEGORY: Test
:END:


C-c am

Match: Category=3DTest

Try putting the value in double-quotes:

Match: Category=3D"Test"


I should have mentioned that I tried quotes and upper case/ lower case, but no avail...

I tried a f= ew times with different case in the keyword and in the value - it seems bot= h are case-sensitive and must match the item in the entries exactly.=C2=A0 = 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=3D"Test"
=C2=A0
My impression= given the message

Headlines with TAGS match: Category=3D"T= est"
Press `C-u r' to search again with new search string
is that for some reason it only searches for tags.

But, on the prompt before you get to this one, it says:

m=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 match a TAGS/PROP/TODO query
