Yes, that was one of my misconceptions from my reading of the
org-agenda-custom-commands docs. The docs say:
[...]
match What to search for:
- a single keyword for TODO keyword searches
- a tags match expression for tags searches
- a word search expression for text searches.
- a regular expression for occur searches
For all other commands, this should be the empty string.
And the following example is given,
(search "match" settings files)
I erroneously assumed the string cannot be an empty string until I read
the article on Worg. I also realised I can use let to set any variable
to whatever I need and wrap around any of the search functions. I can
then have prompts for any kind of search with these. Thanks everyone for
pointing me in the right direction. :)
