You do have very few events, so it may be that you’d be better off using the search widget, rather than the in-calendar search. * The in-calendar search won’t change the date selection, so while the filter will be applied, it isn’t super obvious if there are no events that would be added or subtracted in the active view. * The widget returns results in a list, so it’s potentially more useful for this case. * Thread Starter [katiewsi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/katiewsi/) * (@katiewsi) * [3 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/search-feature-doesnt-work-2/#post-15927803) * Hi Joe, * Thanks. * How do I get the widget to return search results in a list please? * Thanks * Plugin Author [Joe Dolson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joedolson/) * (@joedolson) * [3 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/search-feature-doesnt-work-2/#post-15928744) * I’m not sure I understand your question; the widget only returns results in a list. You can use it either via the My Calendar: Simple Search widget or using the `[my_calendar_search]` shortcode. * Thread Starter [katiewsi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/katiewsi/) * (@katiewsi) * [3 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/search-feature-doesnt-work-2/#post-15963042) * Hi Joe, * Thanks. * It doesn’t appear to show in a list when I search on this page with the above shortcode: [https://vetdynamics.co.uk.lemon.temporarywebsiteaddress.com/1264-2/](https://vetdynamics.co.uk.lemon.temporarywebsiteaddress.com/1264-2/) * Not sure I understand what you’re meaning? * Thanks, Katie * Plugin Author [Joe Dolson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joedolson/) * (@joedolson) * [3 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/search-feature-doesnt-work-2/#post-15964088) * Oh, that’s right; the search works a bit differently if it’s targeted to the main calendar page. If you target a different URL, it’ll show them in a simple numbered list in the order coming up. You can define a separate URL in the shortcode or in the widget using the ‘url’ parameter. It’ll work for any page, e.g. [https://vetdynamics.co.uk.lemon.temporarywebsiteaddress.com/about-us/?mcs=make%20a%20search](https://vetdynamics.co.uk.lemon.temporarywebsiteaddress.com/about-us/?mcs=make%20a%20search) * Thread Starter [katiewsi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/katiewsi/) * (@katiewsi) * [3 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/search-feature-doesnt-work-2/#post-16034004) * Hi Joe, * Thanks, * Unsure what my shortcode needs to be? I currently have this: * [my_calendar above=”nav”] * Thanks, Katie * Thread Starter [katiewsi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/katiewsi/) * (@katiewsi) * [3 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/search-feature-doesnt-work-2/#post-16034069) * How do I edit how this page looks? * [https://vetdynamics.co.uk.lemon.temporarywebsiteaddress.com/search-events/?mcs=pa](https://vetdynamics.co.uk.lemon.temporarywebsiteaddress.com/search-events/?mcs=pa) * Plugin Author [Joe Dolson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joedolson/) * (@joedolson) * [3 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/search-feature-doesnt-work-2/#post-16039062) * I’m not totally sure how to answer your question; I’d do it using CSS, myself. There are no settings for configuring appearance.
