Can't recall 1.0.3, however in 1.0.7 stable, in the calendar you can
search "Any field contains","Summary contains","Description Contains"
and "Comment contains" a text string.
However this only works highlighting the day if month for the
appointment, if you have such month visible in the calendar, so I have
to agree with you.

Comment 8 lsof 2006-04-09 18:47:58 UTC 
This bug makes recurring yearly or far-future appointments pretty much useless for me.

For example, let's pretend I have a recurring yearly appointment to renew the gnome.org domain name on 22-Jul-2006.
I also have a bunch of other similar renewals for other domains:
novell.com, suse.com, etc.
There's no way I can find them again.

Once they're in evolution, they're lost, like evolution is a black hole for my data.

I *could* manually search through each month (maybe each year, if I renew for 5 years each time), but then I *could* also keep a pen and paper next to my desk with yearly events on them (actually, this now seems to be a good idea).

This bug has been open for three years.

this has been fixed in 2.11.3 and will be included in the upcoming stable 2.12.
you can search for text in any field of an appointment. you will not get a list back or something like that, but you can easily take a look at the mini calendar and see the highlighted dates that include your search results.
