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).
