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.

This is the number of contacts or calendar entries to retrieve from Google for each request. If you do a partial calendar search, then it is very likely that for many requests during the search, none of the fetched events contains your search term. This means, that the lower this number is, the more requests to Google will be necessary for a search. | This is the number of contacts or calendar entries to retrieve from Google for each request.
