Re: [Orgmode] Org Mode Searching Bug?

[Carsten Dominik]

Hi Deech,

this is intentional, the headline following a headline that matches
the search is also shown, because it makes it easier to edit the 
headline
and the entry below it without accidentally changing hidden text.
If you are confident that you know outline-mode well enough,
customize the variable `org-show-following-heading'.  Get back to
us if you cannot figure out how to modify it correctly - it is
a relatively complex variable.

While you are at it: there are two more variables that give you very
fine-graned control over what exactly is displayed in sparse tree
and other commands that expose previously hidden parts of the
outline tree.

org-show-hierarchy-above
org-show-siblings

Hope this helps

- Carsten
