The search function in the iPhone's / iPad's standard calendar app only searches for calendar entries up to a maximum of 1 year back. CalSearch fixes this and searches the various calendars of the iPhone for any search term, even more than 1 year back. The search period and the calendars to be searched are configurable. CalSearch is a free app with no ads or in-app purchases - we don't make any money with it. Please understand that we cannot offer any support as a result.
calQuery
Easily search your iPhone or iPad calendar for past events. Results can be sorted by date, location, or alphabetically. Tapping a result opens the corresponding day in your native calendar app.
- Search past calendar events
- Sort results by date, location, alphabet
- Open events in native calendar
- Supports iPhone and iPad
