 * Hi,
   When we’re using the search feature of this plugin (The Events Calendar Pro),
   only upcoming events are showing.Is it possible to make the search function more
   user-friendly? Like when a user searches for an event, will the event that they
   are looking for be displayed regardless of whether it is a previous or upcoming
   event?Please advise.Thank you,Aljon

 * Hi there,
 * At this time The Events Calendar is geared more towards Upcoming and Current 
   events, and the search function is not meant to include Past Events, you can 
   read more about that here: [https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/k/past-events/](https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/k/past-events/)
 * I’m sure it would be possible to alter the search, but it would require some 
   Custom code, and I’m afraid we don’t have an out of the box solution for that.
   You can view our full customization guide here: [Customizing The Events Calendar – Knowledgebase | The Events Calendar](https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/guide/customization/)
