Hi All,
A new UI for searching the calendar is done. It will only appear if you’re using the new calendar UI. I didn’t want to step on the toes of any other search functionality. Although it seemed the old search code didn’t work. The search results simply allow the user to view/edit the appointment it found.
I decided on a simple list with one function per search result. It could have been easy to make a click on the patient name do one thing, click on the date and something else happens, click on the provider… something else. I’m a subscriber of ‘Keep-It-Simple-Stupid’ (KISS) to minimize confusion in a user interface. Thus we have a list of search results with one purpose: edit/view an existing event.
There are more features I’d like to build into this search but for now this will do just fine.

PS - Enjoy the new ‘search spinner’ I added to this search and also the patient-finder stuff.
