How Do I Perform an Advanced Search to Search for my Events or Tasks?

The advanced search functionality is available in all views of the calendar. Unlike the basic search functionality where you can search your events or tasks by filtering on the event attributes, the advanced functionality allows you to specify multiple search criteria on the event or task attributes by using boolean operators like 'and' and 'or'.

To use the advanced search functionality for events, follow these steps:

1. Click on the magnifying glass icon in the search text area on the right hand corner of the calendar main window:

   A drop-down search list with the following options is presented:

   • Title

   • Location

   • Description/Notes

   • Attendees

   • Organizer

   • All Attributes

   • Advanced Search

2. Select Advanced Search.

   The Advanced Search interface is shown in a new tab.

3. From the Events and Tasks drop-down list, select the item you want to search for:

   • Events and Tasks

   • Events Only

   • Tasks Only

4. Select the category from the drop down list labeled in:

   • Title

   • Location

   • Description/Notes

   • Attendees

   • Organizer

   • All/Any Field

5. Type the search string based on the attribute you want to search on.

6. Select the calendar you want to search by clicking on the drop-down list labelled within.

7. The advanced search option also allows you search for events or tasks based on dates.

   If you think your event or task occurs before or after a certain date, select the appropriate options by selecting the dates labeled Events Starting Between. You can choose a date by clicking on the text area. A miniature calendar pops up and select the date.

8. Click Search.
