Results for calendar search should be shown in list instead of having to go through the months [Feature request]
Dan Berger's bugzilla-feature-request is still high on my wish list:
When searching for events, the current calendar behavior is often less than useful. Here's a scenario:
It's mid September - you're looking for an arbitrary event which occured sometime between January and today - you enter the appropriate search criteria and then have to scroll backwards through the month views looking for the one bold day.
It seems that a better interface might be to pop up a window to accept the search criteria and display a list of matching events, allowing you to "visit" any item in the list or dismiss the results.
I tried to mock such a thing up in glade, but I can't promise it's at all valuable. Being pretty ignorant of the "GTK way" I couldn't do a 100% mock-up, but I've attached the glade2 file to this bug.
On Bugzilla you find a fruitful discussion. The request was added in 2002 (?) and the last hopeful entry was in 2018. There is a need for this feature which was NOT diminished over the past two decades.
Please look into this again! Thanks in advance!
