More wonkiness:This custom view (no regexes) doesn't work, but manually entering projectA (no quotes) in a tags-todo search*does* work - so maybe my problem isn't regexes, but something else with my org-agenda-custom-commands . . . .(setq org-agenda-custom-commands'(("1" tags-todo "projectA")))

My understanding is that the above should work. I tried your
org-agenda-custom-commands value with this agenda file:
* TODO a :projectA:
* TODO b :projectB:
* TODO c :project:
With an otherwise vanilla configuration and master (0c1740c91) checked
out, I see
Headlines with TAGS match: {projectA}
Press ‘C-u r’ to search again
scratch: TODO a :projectA:
I see the same thing on maint (3ed035ce3).Thanks - I'm using Org 9.3.6 and I'm getting no matches when using emacs -qI had some other issues w/regexes and Bastien fixed them in "maint":Is it relatively easy to try org-mode's "maint" version (e.g. just check out branch fromhttps://code.orgmode.org/bzg/org-mode ?) I'll try using the "maint" version to see what's up.Thanks,--Nate
