Single Search Hit and Quick Jump

Single Search Hit and Quick Jump

[Esben Stien]

I have a long tree, like this: 

* foo
** bar
*** baz
**** hukarz
**** qux
**** quux
*** corge
**** grault
text: corge
**** garply
text: corge
*** azerty
**** plugh
text: corge
**** ethud
corge

Now, If I f.ex do C-c a s corge, I get multiple hits, but I really only
search for level 3 items always. Is there any way to restrict the search
to only level 3 items?

Also, when I find a result, I want to jump to the last item in that
tree, so if I search for "corge", I want to end up with point on the
level 4 item "**** garply"

Any pointers as to how I can do this?

You can have a custom agenda command like this one:

    (setq org-agenda-custom-commands
       '(("c" "Level 3 courge" tags "+LEVEL=3"
          ((org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset '("+corge"))))))

You can hack around `org-agenda-after-show-hook'.

HTH,

Yeah, that works nicely;), but it's a hardcoded search string. How would
you pass a search string, like C-c a s? I looked at org-search-view, but
got lost pretty quick.

I would not.  I would simply have a +LEVEL=3 agenda view and manually
do = search-string in the agenda buffer.

`=' is certainly not known enough as a filter agenda command.

Stay with us :)

Would you consider defining org-refile-targets and then using C-u M-x
org-refile (which you can bind to a handy keyboard shortcut, of
course)? org-refile-targets lets you specify the level or maxlevel to
consider, and C-u for org-refile jumps instead of refiling.

Something like (org-end-of-subtree) and (org-back-to-heading), maybe
in a custom function or in a hook?
