[Evolution] Filtering appointments in calendar view



I'm trying to use the find/filtering tool at the top of the Calendar
view with the Week display.  Using that tool, you can choose "Category
is" and then choose one of the categories you've organized your
appointments under.  The problem is that when I hit the "Find Now"
button, sure if filters out all those appointments which aren't in the
category, but it doesn't actually help me "find" other appointments in
the category which aren't immediately displayed in the current view.

Unfortunately, I don't think I explained that very well, so let me offer
an example.  Let's say I'm trying to create a sequential list of all the
birthdays this year.  If I search under category birthday, depending
upon whether I'm on the day, week, or month view, that will dictate how
many birthdays I will see.

Anyway, the point I'm trying to get to is that it seems to me that the
Summary area which lists tasks in the Calendars day, work week, and week
views, would be a great place to list appointments found during a
search.  If there was a way to change what the Summary area was
displaying from tasks to appointments.  Then you could see a sequential
list of all the birthdays.  As it is, if you want to filter the task
list, you can do that from the Tasks page.  It seems to me that the
Summary on the Calendar page should at least have the ability to show
calendar events if desired by the user.

Is this a feature that anyone else might also want?  Is this a feature
that makes sense to anyone besides myself?  Is this a feature already
implemented(maybe I just don't know how to use it) or planned?  Should I
file a bug report for this feature?

Thanks
