Searching Your CalendarAnd Public Calenders

As could be expected, Google integrates some interesting search features into the Google Calendar application. Not only can you search for events in your own calendars, you can also search all public calendars for interesting events.

Searching Your Private Calendars

If you have a lot of events stored in multiple calendars, finding a particular event might be problematic. To that end, you can utilize Google's search feature. Just enter some information about the event (a person's name, a place, or whatever) into the top-of-page search box, and then click the Search My Calendars button. Google now displays a list of matching events, as shown in Figure 33.17; click an event to view more details.

Searching Public Calendars

Google Calendar also lets you search all public calendars for events. You do this from the Search Public Calendars box in the Calendar box on the left side of the main Google Calendars page. Events that match your search are displayed on a new page. Click the link under each event to view details of that event; click the Add Calendar button to add this complete calendar to your own Google Calendar page.
