This package provides a query language for Org files. It offers two syntax styles: Lisp-like sexps and search engine-like keywords.
It includes three libraries: The =org-ql= library is flexible and may be used as a backend for other tools. The libraries =org-ql-search= and =helm-org-ql= provide interactive search commands and saved views.
