12.2.6. Searching for events

Warning

You are looking at documentation for an older release. Not what you want? See the current release documentation.

This function allows finding existing events according to specific search conditions easily. There are 2 search types: Quick search and Advanced search.

Quick search

This function allows you to do a quick search with specific keywords in all your events/tasks. All events having the text matching with your search term will be returned.

  1. Enter a word in the Search field at the right corner of the toolbar.

  2. Hit Enter key to perform the search. The matching events will be shown in the Search Result page.

Advanced search

This function allows you to make a search with multiple criteria.

  1. Click Advanced Search on the Search Result page.

  2. Input your search criteria in the Advanced Search form.

    In which:

    FieldDescription
    TextThe search term or keyword for searching.
    CalendarThe calendar on which you want to perform your search.
    CategoryThe category of event to conduct your search.
    Priority

    The priority of your needed events: Normal, High or Low. If you leave blank in the field, your search will be done to all priority levels.

    From Date

    Only the events having 'To date' greater than or equal the date entered in the From Date field are listed in the results form. You can click this field and select a date from a mini calendar.

    To Date

    Only the events having 'From date' less than or equal to the date entered in the To date field are listed in the results form. You can click this field and select a date from a mini calendar.

  3. Click Search to perform your search. All events matching with your criteria will be listed in the results form.

Note

In the Search Result form, you can click an event to view it, or edit/delete an event by clicking / at the bottom.

Note

If you are searching for a recurring event using Quick search, notice that the search returns those that occur in 2 years in the future. This limit is to prevent an infinite result, so it does not impact non-recurrences.

In Advanced search, if you leave the To Date field blank, the 2-year limit is also applied. So you can search for occurrences later than 2 years by filling in that field.
