Is it just me not looking hard enough, or is the search-function for appointments missing?

No search yet. The reason's simple: there's nowhere to put the results.

Yes, we could dump the results into a dialog where all you can do with them is view them or ignore them (sound familiar). But that's a reasonable bit of work with a horrible result. We'll be working on a proper "textual list view" which is where the search results will end up. The search will also include the Smart Find style found in the contacts half of DL.

For our information, what do you use search for? And how do you use it?

Sounds great, hope you'll include tasks and allow different ranges...

(That's my prime reason for using a calender, to allow myself to forget things that is going to happen sometime in the future, beyond tomorrow

One special occasion is when an alarm has gone off and it just shows Done, Sleep, Silence (BTW I've never figured out the difference between Snooze and Silence when in silence mode with buzzer). Here I would really like to have an Edit, and a Sleep... The Edit for rescheduling the actual item, the Sleep... for setting an arbitrary sleep time.

Since I don't have the Edit button in the alarm pop-up (and I set alarms days before the actual deadline) I need Find to be able to edit the alarm and/or reschedule it.

I also use it to get a primitive list-view (searching for a common character such as 'a' "in future") of things coming up.
