Is it possible to run org-sparse-tree on a specific region or subtree of an org file? I have an Org file with the following structure * 2010... * 2011 ** 2011-01 January... ** 2011-02 February *** 2011-02-01 Tuesday **** Alice - Plain list item 1 - Plain list item 2 **** Bob - Plain list item a - Plain list item b *** 2011-02-08 Tuesday **** Alice - Plain list item 3 - Plain list item 4 **** Bob - Plain list item c - Plain list item d I'd like to be able to be able to run a command and see all the Alice entries for 2011-02 February. It seems like a sparse tree (with a regex for Alice) on the 2011-02 February subtree would give me that. But I *think* org-sparse-tree uses org-occur which always starts at point-min, but I could easily be mis-reading the code. Does anyone have any ideas? -- Lee Hinman hinman@gmail.com

Narrow to subtree, then run org-sparse-tree normally, then widen maybe?

Bernt & Suvayu,
Thanks. Narrowing to subtree and then running org-sparse-tree worked great.
