Hi all

this is probably a silly question, but whats the suggested/best way to
search (or generate a list/agenda view) only for TODO marked headers
contains a specific word.
for a use case example, i want to show all TODO headers what have a
colleague name in them ('Allan')

thx

Thats exactly what i was looking for.
does anyone know or show me an example of how to create
a org-agenda-custom-commands with the 'S' from above where i would go C-a
'x' and it would auto search all TODO headers for a custom string?

thx so much!

Probably you mean C-c a. If you have that bind to org-agenda, then 
do C-c a S. To repeat the previous string searched use the arrow 
up key.
