Illustrative example. The dates and amounts below are provided for practice.
Searching a person's name can return a birthday, graduation, and anniversary. The search is useful only if you remember that a category filter may already be narrowing the results.
Enter three illustrative records titled “Ari birthday,” “Ari graduation,” and “Ari work anniversary.” Use a yearless August 12 birthday, a one-time graduation on June 20, 2027, and an annual work start of September 3, 2020.
Find the record you intend to change
Set Filter by Category to All categories and search for “Ari.” Three cards should appear. Change the category to Graduation. One should remain. Edit its note and save, then clear the search to inspect the broader category.
This workflow avoids altering the birthday when the intention was to update a ceremony. Search covers titles and notes, so a note mentioning Ari can also match a differently titled record.
Verify the dates in context
The June 20 graduation and September 3 work occurrence in 2027 are 75 elapsed days apart. That spacing is useful for keeping summer plans separate, but the search itself does no date arithmetic.
If nothing appears, clear both controls before assuming data was lost. A filtered-out record still exists and may appear in the calendar or a full JSON backup.
