This session provides methods for searching Event objects. The search query is constructed using the EventQuery. The event record Type also specifies the record for the event query.

getEventsByQuery() is the basic search method and returns a list of Events. A more advanced search may be performed with getEventsBySearch(). It accepts an EventSearch in addition to the query for the purpose of specifying additional options affecting the entire search, such as ordering. getEventsBySearch() returns an EventSearchResults that can be used to access the resulting EventList or be used to perform a search within the result set through EventSearch.

This session defines views that offer differing behaviors for searching.

• federated calendar view: searches include events in calendars of which this calendar is a ancestor in the calendar hierarchy
• isolated calendar view: searches are restricted to events in this calendar
• denormalized event view: recurring events are expanded into a series of non-recurring events
• normalized event view: a series of recurring events is represented by a single Event

Events may have a query record indicated by their respective record types. The query record is accessed via the EventQuery.
