Hi Leo and others,

Internal commands for this in Org are:

1. multi-occur, a standard emacs command.  To apply it to the
   agenda files, call it through the agenda dispatcher, for me this
   is `C-c a /'.

   That does not include any archive files though.  To do so,
   get the new version from the git repo and do

    (setq org-agenda-text-search-extra-files '(agenda-archives))

2. You can also use search view, which is a new agenda view and allows  
you
   to search for multiple words and/or regexps which all need to match  
in an
   entry, not necessarily in a single line.  It searches for whole  
words, not
   partial words.  Hmm, maybe it should for partial words as well?

   C-c a S +word1 +word2 -excludethisword RET

   This also searched the extra files defined above.

- Carsten
