I'm not aware of any such functionality. One solution, I suppose, would be to use org-map-entries and a custom function to add a tag to all entries due today. But adding the tags with org-map-entries would likely be just as slow as a search, so there may not be much point.

The daily agenda provides a nice view of all deadlines, making clear which are due today and which are past due. And with a custom agenda command you can see only those items that are due today: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (setq org-agenda-custom-commands=20 '(("d" "Due today" agenda "" ((org-agenda-entry-types '(:deadline)) (org-deadline-warning-days 0))))) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Best, Matt
