Hello Evita,
you may want to try M-x org-occur:
org-occur is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `org.el'.
(org-occur regexp &optional keep-previous callback)
Make a compact tree which shows all matches of regexp.
The tree will show the lines where the regexp matches, and all higher
headlines above the match. It will also show the heading after the match,
to make sure editing the matching entry is easy.
If keep-previous is non-nil, highlighting and exposing done by a previous
call to `org-occur' will be kept, to allow stacking of calls to this
command.
If callback is non-nil, it is a function which is called to confirm
that the match should indeed be shown.
But this only shows the matching entries, it doesn't generate a list of the
entries (like running a query on a database).
Hth,
Stephan

Hello to everyone!
I am a teacher trying to teach young people how to use org-mode for
writing. We have created a database with notes on literature review
outlined in org-mode in the following format:
* jones2000
blah blah blah keyword1 keyword2
*jones2007
blah blah keyword2
and so on. I was wondering whether there is a way where one can search
for a keyword in the database (more than 350 papers up to now) and can
get in an automatic fashion in which of the jones' entries these
keywords occur (pretty much like using MS Access and running a query).
Is this possible? Maybe what I am asking for is outright
crazy/impossible but I thought I should give it a go!
