I have replied to this part on my first reply to the thread about the
search engine, at "Remarks #1":
https://list.orgmode.org/878quf1ji0.fsf@k-7.ch/T/#m2425dcfc7665e88aefcbd81800d2d83aef98cd5b


For the other parts, I have take notes of your replies and will reply on
the specific threads.

Thank you very much for all your replies. :)


Best regards
