Searching events and reminders

Click the magnifier in the bar or press ⌘F. The middle of the bar turns into a search field.

What is searched

When you open the search, Calinsight loads the events and reminders from ten years back to five years ahead into memory (occurrences of repeating events a year either way). From then on every keystroke narrows the results on the spot, so nothing waits on typing. A match is any part of the title, ignoring case and accents.

Reading the results

Results appear in the list in two sections:

• Upcoming — events and reminders from today onwards, nearest first
• Past — everything earlier, most recent first

The grid narrows down at the same time. Days with no match are dimmed, so the days that do match stand out. Today’s marker stays as it is. The filter in the bar applies to the results too.

Choosing a result

Click a result and the grid moves to that month while the search stays open, with the matching bar or square growing briefly to show you where it is. You can go straight on to the next result. ↑↓ move through the results and Return selects one. Double-click a result to open it for editing (Editing and deleting).

Closing the search

Press Esc or click ✕. The first press clears what you typed; the second closes the field. Switching views with ⌘1–⌘3, or closing the Calinsight window, also ends the search. When it closes, the list returns to where you were before the search (or to the result you selected).

Note

Search covers the events and reminders in the calendars and lists you have set to Active. The range is loaded when you open the search, so for a moment it does not respond to ↑↓ or Return.
