advanced search for patterns
hello, I have been using orgmode for a while , and noticed that I can
find headings based on tags, but I haven't figured out whether there is
a way to say in emacs org-mode :
find me all the (lowest-level) headings [ or heading-paths ] that
contains text (whether formatted as source code blocks or whatever) that
matches, say three, (regexp) patterns, e.g. :
(M|m)artha
((buy|bought)[^\n]*milk(s?))
(pay|paid|USD)
How would one ask org-mode to find all such headings (in all opened
org-mode buffers , preferably :) )
I guess one could try to connect the three regexps with something like
a negative-lookahead "does not contain '\n\*'" string, like
(M|m)artha (:!\n\*){0} ((buy|bought)[^\n]*milk(s?)) (:!\n\*){0}
(pay|paid|USD) | \
(pay|paid|USD) (:!\n\*){0} (M|m)artha (:!\n\*){0}
((buy|bought)[^\n]*milk(s?)) | \
((buy|bought)[^\n]*milk(s?)) (:!\n\*){0} (M|m)artha (:!\n\*){0}
(pay|paid|USD) | \
(pay|paid|USD) (:!\n\*){0} (M|m)artha (:!\n\*){0}
((buy|bought)[^\n]*milk(s?)) | \
...
but that's just ugly. And would it work at all? Would it not be so
slow to make it impractical?
Or is there a way to say "search all headings for pattern1" in all
files, then filter the results by pattern2, then filter the results by
pattern3 ?? How? Someone surely must have done this before ...
thx!!

Re: Shower thought: submit an IETF RFC to register Org as a MIME type
I do not have much insight into all the possible outcomes (i.e. I am clueless about such outcomes) except one outcome - orgmode MIME type gets registered. I think it would serve well the proliferation and popularization of org-mode. I.e. I do not see any negatives, only positives. After successful registration, I don't think anyone would really complain that their "Lotus Organiser" or organ audio samples do not get processed as usual. AFAIC, push this.

documentation feature: typical .org files as starting points along with screencasts
Hello, First of all, orgmode rocks! I am trying to work with with orgmode for a few months now, and I feel like I am still only scratching the surface. I've read the manual, and the online docs, yet fully functional access to some features eludes me still. I would find it tremendously useful if, perhaps as a part of the documentation, there were several sample .org files, at various levels of complexity (features used) _along_ _with_ a quick and simple screen cast of its features being used in a real-life scenario. ( I find it most useful for such screen casts to display key presses as they occur ... is there a "plugin" which would 1) show the keys being pressed and 2) also show the resulting functions being invoked by those keystrokes? ). Repeatedly I've spent more than an hour trying to figure out what happened when I haven't noticed that by mistake that I've pressed some weird key combo which has placed my orgmode/emacs session in an incomprehensible state - e.g. narrowing a buffer. Had I known which keys I had pressed by mistake, or at least the functions that they involved, I could have looked up the manual to see how to "undo" such mess. But when you don't know that your state is being called "narrowing buffer", you have no clue what just happened and that you should find out how to "widen" it again. ( That is very, VERY frustrating for an emacs/orgmode newbie. Someone please advise how to turn on a log of keystrokes and functions being invoked by those keystrokes. ... Consider having this on as default for newbies. ) It seems to me that to get people started without unnecessary frustrations, we might want to put into the docs something like: To include feature : timestamp-based unique IDs : Configure emacs thusly : insertion> and then see how this works ; ... same for features like HTML export, literal programming, custom timestamp (perhaps with down-to-seconds resolution) custom, etc I believe if I saw in a few screen casts how the orgmode "professionals" use orgmode, and had access to their sample orgmode files which I could follow along and literally identically modify during the screencast, I would be much father (and perhaps even happier) with the use of orgmode. I think the most crucial point for newbies is being able to literally follow the screencast along, perfectly replicating the screen cast results in their emacs / evil / spacemacs setup. If people would want to send me URLs for their sample .org files for which they also have a demo screen cast on how to use their features, I would like to pull these together and create a section for the docs with these. Guys! You are a wonderful bunch and you are perfecting an amazing software! ... Let the world get more of a taste of your amazing work. Thanks so much for orgmode! John

Thatʼs normally written
(with-eval-after-load "org"
(setq org-time-stamp-formats '("<%Y-%m-%d %a>" . "<%Y-%m-%d %a%H:%M:%S
%Z>")))

Thank you!! Your suggestion is working very well!!

Re: Q: placement of initialization for org-time-stamp-formats
Hello again.
After a lot of searching and trying, I finally figured one thing that
seems to work: ( I am no lisp programmer, so I don't know what negative
side effects might this have) ; I've added into dotspacemacs/user-config
section inside .spacemacs :
(add-hook 'org-load-hook
(lambda ()
(setq org-time-stamp-formats '("<%Y-%m-%d %a>" . "<%Y-%m-%d
%a %H:%M:%S %Z>")) ))
Does that look like this should have no undesirable side effects?
Thanks!
