It should no longer show up in global todo or tags searches until that date arrives - at which point it will be in all lists. There are similar settings for deadline and plain timestamps. ,---- | org-agenda-tags-todo-honor-ignore-options is a variable defined in `org-a= genda.el'. | Its value is t |=20 | Documentation: | Non-nil means honor todo-list ...ignore options also in tags-todo search. | The variables | `org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date', | `org-agenda-todo-ignore-timestamp', | `org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled', | `org-agenda-todo-ignore-deadlines' | make the global TODO list skip entries that have time stamps of certain | kinds.
