I'd also recommend the agenda's multi-occur search ("C-c a /"), which
displays all matching lines in the agenda and reveals them properly when
you press return.
In short, use "C-c a s" when you want to see all headlines containing a
word/regexp. Use "C-c a /" when you want to see the matching lines in
the results.
