Calendar search I can look in to. Would it be to search event descriptions/locations for certain words, or would you be after some kind of date search?

Contacts - are there fields you're especially interested in? Email addresses? Company names?

Thanks for the suggestions!
Thanks for thinking about adding this stuff!

Note Everything does indeed have its own search function, but there are times when I'm not certain where on the PDA I have something stashed -- for example, sometimes I'll add a phone number to a Note Everything note simply because it'll be a one-time phone call and I don't want/need it in "Contacts." Sometimes I even put that phone number in a calendar entry at the time I'm supposed to make that call.

Calendar search would, for me at least, just be event names.

But here's an example: Let's say I sprained my knee. I search for the physical therapist's name on the Droid. I see the calendar entry for when my last appointment was, see that there's a Note Everything note that I wrote to myself to tell me what exercises I needed to be working on since the last appointment, and see the PT's entry in "Contacts" so I can call him to schedule another appointment.

In other words, the whole Droid/PDA is working as one, integrated unit, and all information is inter-linked via SEARCH.

Thanks again for considering this sort of stuff!
