When searching for the very first time, the program will offer you to add a Google account. Without a Google account, a search in Google Calendar or Google Contacts cannot be performed. After you entered your valid account data, you will see the calendars of that account and a back swipe will return you to the Main screen, where you can start your search. | |||

Google can only search for whole words in the calendar. If you want to search for parts of words (aka substring search), then enable this option. But this means, that the program will have to retrieve '''all''' your calendar events from Google (within the configured limits) and then do the partial search by itself. Because of the vast amount of data, this kind of search is slow. | Google can only search for whole words in the calendar.

Enable this to show the contacts in the results list first, otherwise the calendar events are being shown first. | |||
==Results screen== | |||
If the search was successful (you got at least 1 result), the results screen will be displayed. You will see the contacts and/or calendar events which contain the search term. | |||
Tapping on a calendar event opens the local Calendar of your device for that specific day. | |||
Tapping on a contact cannot show you the corresponding contact on your device automatically, because webOS does not allow it. So, after you tapped a contact you will be asked to link the Google contact with one of your on device contacts. A list of all your contacts will be displayed to chose from. You can narrow down the list by typing some text. After the contact is linked, the next time you tap on it will take you immediately to the linked contact on your device. | |||
Please note, that even though you on device contacts are essentially linked to Google by webOS, they still have to be linked again in this program, because of the mentioned webOS restrictions. | |||
