If there's one thing I could ask for for christmas, it would be a complete normalization of arguments to all the org-ql-* family of functions. Some want queries as arguments, some want them as keywords, some want them escaped, etc. It would save me neurons if there were "one way" for all of them.

In fact, maybe even a single org-ql entry point with a keyword to specify :select :search, etc

I'm happy to talk about that if you want to open an issue on the tracker. :)

Also see org-ql-query which might be closer to what you want

I'm trying to use org-ql-refile right now, and noticing a few odds things:

1. (HR does not find a heading that contains "(HR)". It seems I can't use parens with any combination of escaping.
2. heading:"HR" find items whose heading does not contain that string, and most important omits the heading with "(HR)"!

How is it so fast? Are you sacrificing kittens to some unknown deity each time I invoke a query?

In reply to @alphapapa:matrix.org
That's probably because the crude heuristic is mis-detecting it as a sexp query, but you're trying to use it as a string query.

I think you've found a bug in the link predicate for links with certain characteristics. Vertico makes it hard to see the backtrace buffer, but with a bit of fiddling you can see it, or you can use the same query on the same buffers without Vertico being involved and you should get a backtrace.

Hm, interesting, I found a place in my Org files where I have a source block with a Bash script, and the double-bracket constructs seem to be attracting the attention of the link predicate's matching code, and it's failing there.

Yep, found the fix.

I did submit another report for you

Easy fix, I think, please see https://github.com/alphapapa/org-ql/issues/475

I'm mentioned in the README for org-ql!!! Fame achieved.

LOL you have it entirely backwards my friend! Now you're in my readme, so now I am famous! :D

Ditto. I love the humility that runs in Emacsland. :)

btw, for my Emacs-related endeavors, you can call me johnw@gnu.org

Ah, will try to remember that, thanks. :)
