We use calendars to keep track of upcoming events, appointments, and meetings. If you remember adding an item to your calendar, but can't remember what you added and for what date, don't worry. You can search calendars in Outlook.com to find that item.
Search for an item in your calendar
When you’re viewing a calendar or calendars, you can search for an item by using a keyword or phrase.
-
At the bottom of the page, select
to go to Calendar. -
In the Search box, type a word or phrase. For example, you could enter the word "holiday" or a phrase such as "department meeting."
-
Press Enter or select the magnifying glass to search.
Outlook.com searches all calendars you've currently selected. You can adjust the time range or the calendars you wish to search using the filters in the search box.
Your search results will appear as a list. Choose any event in the list to view it in the reading pane.
Note: To clear the search box and return to the standard calendar view, choose the back arrow next to the search box or click anything in the left navigation menu.

As soon as you start typing in the Search Calendar box, a list appears of people you've corresponded with whose name matches the entered character. You can open and view the calendar of any person in the list who is part of your organization.
Based on the characters entered in the search box, the size of the drop-down list increases or decreases. If the characters can't be matched to a person, the list disappears and results are shown in the standard list view.
