One possible exception here is the use of the agenda to query notes. I
use org-mode as a research tool, storing all sorts of reading notes in
my org files.
While working on tasks I often need to search for notes relevant to the
current task. This is not an interruption, but rather a normal part of
my workflow. In these instances, a separate buffer for search results
would be exceptionally useful.
Just a thought.
Best,
Matt
