Assume I have 10 things that must be done for a sp= ecific project and two of them must be done today. =A0I want to be able to = know which two are due today, but I still want to see them in the same list= as the other 8 items because it gives useful context. =A0

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.

Might I ask why the sparse tree search above or a simple agenda view = of
deadlines is inadequate? 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
=A0 =A0 =A0'(("d" "Due today" agenda ""<= br> =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 ((org-agenda-entry-types '(:deadline))
=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0(org-deadline-warning-days 0)))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Best,
Matt
