 * Can you tell me how I can use the “search query” option ? Say I only wanted to
   display events where their description started with the word “Event:” how could
   I do this ?
 * thanks!

 * You should just be able to add the keyword to the textbox “Event:” and it should
   find those.

 * Thanks for the reply, however I need more information. I’m very new to wordpress
   and know nothing about “search query” Where can I get more details on how to 
   construct a query ? How could I search for events that only START with “Event:”,
   but ignore events that contain the word “Event:” in the middle of their description.
 * I’m heading down the right path, just need to find some information on exactly
   what syntax that “search query” supports
 * thanks!

 * Mark,
 * As far as this plugin is concerned, a search query is just text that you’re looking
   for in the event description itself.
 * For instance, “concert” in search query will find events named “rock concert”,“
   jazz concert” and “concert in the park”.
 * Hope that helps.
