Re: [O] [code] Small elisp snippet to search among toplevel headlines in a file
Another possible way to do it might be to create a wrapper around org-goto with alternative interface where you set org-goto-max-level to 1. I've been using org-goto (alt. interface) with ido mode for a while, and it's great (although I haven't tried restricting headlines to just the top level).

To make it easier to search only among toplevel headings (i.e. among the the titles of my projects), I wrote this small piece of elisp, which lives in my initialization-file (e.g. .emacs): (define-key org-mode-map [(f11)] (lambda () (interactive) (progn (occur (concat ^\\* .* (read-from-minibuffer Occur for toplevel headlines containing: )) nil) (pop-to-buffer *Occur*) (use-local-map (copy-keymap (current-local-map))) (local-set-key (kbd RET) (lambda () (interactive) (progn (occur-mode-goto-occurrence) (delete-other-windows))) To find a project I just press f11 (please choose your own key) and enter a keyword to do an occur for this keyword. Normally several toplevel headings are found and the right one is chosen by typing return.
