# Searching and Filtering

The Events Addon provides powerful search and filtering capabilities through both the admin interface and the API.

### How to Search Events

**In the Admin Interface:**
- Use the search box at the top of the events list
- Search by title, location, or other text fields
- Results update when you click Filter

### Available Search Filters

You can filter events by:

- **Title**: Search for events by title (partial matches supported)
- **Dates**: Filter by date range (start date and end date)
- **Categories**: Filter by one or more categories
- **Destinations**: Filter by destination
- **Featured**: Filter to show only featured events

### Understanding Search Results

Search results include:
- Event title
- Start and end dates/times
- Main image (if available)
- Brief summary or content preview
- Associated categories
- Location information

Results can be sorted by:
- Upcoming (chronological by start date - default)
- Recent (most recently published first)

**Date Filtering:**
- Events are filtered to show upcoming events by default
- You can specify a date range to see events within that range
- Recurring events that fall within the date range are included
