Hi,
very often I'm using the "simple search mode" in the calender and other modules.
works great for simple searches like an appointment with the text
call sam
if i search for call sam
then i get the right answer.
but if the text ist more like
call coworker sam
i won't get any results by searching for
call sam
i have to enter
call AND sam
everytime.
suggestion:
option in the settings have the AND-Search feature enabled if a blank/space is made.
If it is easy to do, maybe someone likes the OR-Feature as an option also
sincerely
suggestion: simple search mode AND OR improvement

push
still interested in this feature. Maybe it's possible to do it analog to google?
call sam (show every item whereever CALL and SAM is included, no matter if the entry is CALL BUDDY SAM or SAM CALL)
"call sam" (show's exact phrase "CALL SAM" "CALL SAM TOMORROW", while "SAM CALL" is not shown
why? sometimes i'm using diffrent grammatics or have more items like "call jennifer, sam, walter"

Re: suggestion: simple search mode AND OR improvement
It looks you recognised the need to have strict search, where exact phrase inserted is shown. And you are suggesting to make life of those who need to do strict search harder) It all comes to what users need more often: strict or not strict search. Our current take is that strict search is more popular and is also much more common in software (not talking about Google- that's a different story)
