Hi Group, I have referred to the Cosmo's data model in the past. I have got following to say on the search feature.
Since Cosmo supports import of Calendar events from other applications, in future it may be desired that Cosmo supports searching on the basis of those fields which are not present on the Cosmo's GUI but are present in the imported iCalendar text. For Instance, CATEGORIES iCalendar property. In my opinion, for this to work those search attributes which are very likely to be used by the users can be mapped to a DB column and indexed. This shall work for those iCalendar properties which are supported on the GUI but are handled as iCalendar clob. For Instance, STATUS iCalendar property. Thoughts.

Another feature I think would be really helpful would be searching all of your collections, not just the current collection. The desktop does this and shows the number of hits in parentheses by each collection. Seems like if you could update numbers for each collection asynchronously in the web UI it'd be pretty sweet.
