I'm in the calendar, day/week/month is the current view. The "find
now" is enabled (ctrl-e) so that the "look for" box is visible at the
top of my day view. I'm looking for an appointment with the work
"ordering" in the subject. I know it's there, I made it. I put
"ordering" (no quotes) in the "Look for" box. "Search in" is set to
"Calendar". On the right, under "Options" "Search all text in each
message" is enabled. I click on "Find Now" and the "Current View" in
the advanced toolbar (which is visible) changes to "Active
Appointment", and the search finds nothing. Probably because the
"Active Appointment" filter is NOT showing the appointment in
question, probably because the appointment is not an "Active
Appointment".

Does anyone know why the "find now" is changing the current view from
"day/week/month" to "Active Appointments"?

Thanks in advance.

find now has always done that - it needs to show the results in a list view.
