This is indeed very true. I do fall prey to that sometimes.

However I was wondering, block agenda commands might work at least for
doing multiple searches. But I don't think there is any interactive
interface to it.

If we could have some syntax for specifying prompts for custom agenda
commands (something like capture templates) then it might be possible.
Is that a feasible request?
