How to perform an advanced calendar search in Google Calendar

Ever need to check or edit an event - but can’t quite remember when it’s happening (or when it happened)? Don’t worry - Google Calendar’s advanced search can help you find any event, past or future, in just a few seconds.

Here’s how to use it:

  1. Go to the Calendar homepage.

  2. Click the magnifying glass icon in the top right-hand corner to open the search bar.

  3. Click the drop-down arrow in the search bar to reveal the advanced search filters.

  4. Enter any details you remember - such as:

    • Keywords from the event title or description

    • Location

    • Calendar (if you use multiple calendars)

    • Date range

  5. Click Search, and your results will appear instantly.

💡 Pro Tip:

Use keyword-rich event titles (e.g., “Client Sync – Q2 Planning”) so they’re easier to find later with a quick search!
