I find the following settings work quite well, resulting in an alphabetical list of headlines in the minibuffer, from which I can drill down to lower levels: (setq org-outline-path-complete-in-steps t) (setq org-completion-use-ido nil) You could bind these locally in a custom function if you don't want to interfere with refile settings. > > Here is what I would like to see: the default interface of org-goto, > with the following changes: > (a) don't bother with the temp buffer at all.

Doesn't a simple isearch in the current org buffer already do this? The outline is temporarily unfolded for each match, but it is neatly folded up again if you keep pressing C-s.
