To JimS and anyone else still interested: The late (and unlamented, by me
at least) Ultimate Family Tree, shortly before it was sold, had added a
one-step entry form for census recording. The whole household listed on the
census could be entered on one place, but then, each individual's
information was carried to the "General Notes" area of the individual
information screen - where I, for one, did not want it. There was no choice
to put it in their events list (and that was a so-called event based
program) or to have the whole list noted with the head of household, or in
the source detail or anywhere else, from that entry form. I tried it once
or twice, but then went back to the long way - which isn't so long with
Legacy's repeat, or even just Windows copy and paste - so that I could have
the information recorded where and how I wanted it. Connie

If I understand correctly, you want an "events"
searchable database? I assume that you want
to be able to see all individuals associated with
a single event. Also I assume you want an efficient
and quick data entry of multiple individuals to
a single event.
There is a "Repeat" button in the Edit Event window.
(It says "Repeat Field Contents From Last Record".)
That might make data entry quicker for multiple
individuals associated to a common event.
I have no idea how other genealogy programs
show in a single window all persons linked to
an event or how they make multiple data entry
efficient.
To add this to Legacy would seem
to require a major programming effort.
