Hi all, I don't see any clear reason why org-occur should hide unmatching entries except at the top level, where it merely folds them. For files containing lots of top-level entries this requires tree demoting in order to hide irrelevant information, but this imposes constraints on the tree structure that are not related to its author's goals.
It has been asked in the past: - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7602787 - https://emacs-orgmode.gnu.narkive.com/ogvwJnHD I've been playing with org-show-context-detail and it doesn't seem to be any option which actually hides top levels, though the description of some options seem to imply that they should, I believe. This is why I'm reporting this as a bug and not a feature request.
