Global Event Search
Search across all events in your calendar with powerful filtering and quick navigation.
Search all events with cycle filters for recurring, all-day, and skipped events
Overview
The Global Event Search modal provides a fast way to find and navigate to any event in your current calendar. Unlike the toolbar search which filters the visible calendar, this modal shows all matching events in a searchable list.
Access: Command palette → "Open global event search" or assign a hotkey
Usage
Type to filter events by title. Each result shows the event title, type indicator (🔴 Timed, ⚪ All-day, 🔁 Recurring), and date/time.
Actions:
- Open: Opens the event's note file
- Navigate to: Switches to week view and navigates to the event's date
Cycle Filters
Three filter buttons narrow results by event type. Each button cycles through three states:
- Normal - Shows all events
- Only - Shows only this type
- Skip - Hides this type
Available Filters:
- Recurring: Filter by recurring events
- All-day: Filter by all-day vs timed events
- Skipped: Filter by skipped events
Filters combine with AND logic. Example: "Only Recurring + Skip All-day" shows only recurring timed events.
Notes
- Shows only physical event files, not virtual recurring previews
- Respects calendar-level filter rules from settings
- Events display with your configured color rules
