The use case I am thinking of is around tracking action items for
meetings, within my journal, etc.

In the past I have used text files for taking notes in meetings, my
daily journal, etc.   When I want to tag an item as having a follow-up
action item I add @ACTION on the line of text. Later I can then easily
search for all open items (not the containers for the items) using
Windows Grep / BareGrep etc.  If an item is completed - I just delete
the @ACTION or if I want to keep track of (think annual review...) I
replace @ACTION with @DONE.

I know there are some to do capabilities that may specifically address
this in the context of to do items - but having grep like capability
to search and report would be very useful.

I would then like to be able to create a tiddler with my standard
searches (kind of like the fantastic searchoption plugin from Eric).
So you could run the pre-saved searches.  Examples may include:
* Action Items by Project (Separate Tag)  A combination of searching
for tiddlers with a certain tag and
* Action Items by Individual  @ACTIONXXX  @ACTIONYYY  @ACTIONZZZ  (in
the event I have delegated a task to someone)

Unsure if this makes sense to anybody else.....  But for me it would
make working with large tiddlers much more efficient!

Eager to hear if anyone else has some ideas on this.
thanks!
