Can I Search for Calendar Records?
Yes, but remember that the calendar is a front end, so performing a “find” in the calendar interface (on the Day or Month tabs, for instance) doesn’t really make any sense as you’d only find the calendar's interface records, not event records.
You’ll find a “search” button on the Day, Week, and Month screens. This search routine will take you to the event list in Find mode where you can enter your search criteria and then click “find” to find them. This allows you to build a found set of appointments and manipulate them in a traditional FileMaker list view. Click the green arrow beside an event to see its details.
Once on the list view you can continue to manipulate the found set just as you would in any traditional FileMaker file. You can also enter find mode and find records by hand, or use FileMaker’s “constrain” options to reduce or expand the found set of filtered records (In Find Mode: Requests / Constrain Found Set).
If you want to search the calendar using QuickFind you can leave this enabled on the EventList layout, or use fmSearchResults to extend QuickFind.
