Okay now I follow you. I believe you are misunderstanding the syntax.
It should be like this (copying from my test example):
#+LINK: odir file:~/org/coding.org::
[[odir:Distributed%20analysis][Distributed analysis]]
[[odir:#ganga][Ganga]]
That said I had trouble getting the search to work with org files but I
will admit I did not try hard enough.

How is it unusable? Shouldn't the following work with the above setting?
[[foo:<search_string>][Description]]
[[foo:*<Headline_string>][Description]]
Of course I didn't have the time to test this variation, so indeed there
could be a bug. :-p

No worries. Hope the above suggestions help.
