#+TITLE: org-ql
~org-ql~ is a lispy query language for Org files. It allows you to find Org entries matching certain criteria and perform actions on them, such as collecting their parsed representation with ~org-element~ (the default action).

* Usage
** Commands
*** org-ql-search
The command =org-ql-search= prompts for a query, a list of buffers or files, and how to group and sort results. Without prefix, it searches the current buffer instead of prompting. Then it presents the results in an agenda-like view.

** Predicates
Arguments are listed next to predicate names, when applicable.
+ ~category (categories)~ :: Return non-nil if current heading is in one or more of ~CATEGORIES~ (a list of strings).
+ ~closed (&optional comparator target-date)~ :: Return non-nil if entry's closed date compares with ~TARGET-DATE~ using ~COMPARATOR~. ~TARGET-DATE~ should be a string parseable by ~date-to-day~. ~COMPARATOR~ should be a function (like ~<=~).
+ ~date (&optional comparator target-date)~ :: Return non-nil if Org entry at point has date of ~TYPE~ that compares with ~TARGET-DATE~ using ~COMPARATOR~. Checks all Org-formatted timestamp strings in entry. ~TYPE~ may be ~active~, ~inactive~, or ~all~, to control whether active, inactive, or all timestamps are checked. Ranges of each type are also checked. ~TARGET-DATE~ should be a string parseable by ~date-to-day~. ~COMPARATOR~ should be a function (like ~<=~).
+ ~deadline (&optional comparator target-date)~ :: Return non-nil if entry's deadline compares with ~TARGET-DATE~ using ~COMPARATOR~. ~TARGET-DATE~ should be a string parseable by ~date-to-day~. ~COMPARATOR~ should be a function (like ~<=~).
+ ~done~ :: Return non-nil if entry's ~TODO~ keyword is in ~org-done-keywords~.
+ ~habit~ :: Return non-nil if entry is a habit.
+ ~heading (regexp)~ :: Return non-nil if current entry's heading matches ~REGEXP~ (a regexp string).
+ ~level (level-or-comparator &optional level)~ :: Return non-nil if current heading's outline level matches ~LEVEL~ with ~COMPARATOR~. If ~LEVEL~ is nil, ~LEVEL-OR-COMPARATOR~ should be an integer level, which will be tested for equality to the heading's outline level. If ~LEVEL~ is non-nil, ~LEVEL-OR-COMPARATOR~ should be a comparator function (like ~<=~).
+ ~planning (&optional comparator target-date)~ :: Return non-nil if entry's planning date (deadline or scheduled) compares with ~TARGET-DATE~ using ~COMPARATOR~. ~TARGET-DATE~ should be a string parseable by ~date-to-day~. ~COMPARATOR~ should be a function (like ~<=~).
+ ~priority (&optional comparator-or-priority priority)~ :: Return non-nil if current heading has a certain priority. ~COMPARATOR-OR-PRIORITY~ should be either a comparator function, like ~<=~, or a priority string, like "A" (in which case (~=~ will be the comparator). If ~COMPARATOR-OR-PRIORITY~ is a comparator, ~PRIORITY~ should be a priority string.
+ ~property (property &optional value)~ :: Return non-nil if current entry has ~PROPERTY~ (a string), and optionally ~VALUE~ (a string).
+ ~regexp (regexp)~ :: Return non-nil if current entry matches ~REGEXP~ (a regexp string).
+ ~scheduled (&optional comparator target-date)~ :: Return non-nil if entry's scheduled date compares with ~TARGET-DATE~ using ~COMPARATOR~. ~TARGET-DATE~ should be a string parseable by ~date-to-day~. ~COMPARATOR~ should be a function (like ~<=~).
+ ~tags (tags)~ :: Return non-nil if current heading has one or more of ~TAGS~ (a list of strings).
+ ~todo (keywords)~ :: Return non-nil if current heading is a ~TODO~ item. With ~KEYWORDS~, return non-nil if its keyword is one of ~KEYWORDS~ (a list of strings).
* Notes
** Comparison with Org Agenda searches
Of course, queries like these can already be written with Org Agenda searches, but the syntax can be complex. For example, this query would be difficult to write in a standard Org Agenda search, because it matches against a to-do keyword /and/ a plain-text search. As described in the [[https://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/advanced-searching.html#combining-metadata-and-full-text-queries][advanced searching tutorial]], it would require using ~org-search-view~ with a query with specific regular expression syntax, like this:
