 * Dear Anmari
 * I think you’ve done a absolute stunning job in the field of ics integration with
   wordpress. I am using your plugin to display my jobs as a audio engineer and 
   drummer to my site. the ics i am providing comes from a dav calendar in nextcloud
   which is convertet to ics with a cron job and then published with your plugin.
   what bugs me though is the missing ability to search the events in realtime. 
   i am dreaming of something like this: [https://tockify.com/](https://tockify.com/)
   the events (search results) are updatet after every letter i type. wouldn’t that
   be a great feature? how could this be realised?

 * Thank you for your kind words. I’ve noted the thought. It might be possible for
   those using [https://icalevents.com/downloads/amr-events/](https://icalevents.com/downloads/amr-events/)
   where the events are stored in the database like another wp post. There are a
   number of live search on wp post examples out there.
 * However for events from an ics file, not so easy. One cannot just index or take
   one VEVENT from the file. Eg: recurring ones may have a modifying instance later
   in the file. The whole file has to be parsed,sorted, etc. Currently the plugin
   does not store those events in the db (no point in adding to db load, the ics
   url has to always be checked anyway for updates). FOr ics sourced event displays,
   one could possibly do the equivalent of a Control-F on the page of events.

 * Dear Anmari
    Thanks for the hint. It would be great to have those events in the
   wordpress database with your payed plugin. Would it be possible with that version
   to somehow sync the wp-database/event-posts with outlook or dav-calendar or ics
   file? I would like to be able to enter a event just once, preferably not in wordpress
   but in outlook or a mobile device. To acheive this at the moment i am syncing
   a outlook calendar with [https://caldavsynchronizer.org/de/](https://caldavsynchronizer.org/de/)
   to a nextcloud dav-calender and then convert the dav-calender with a script/cronjob
   to a ics which gets published with your plugin. Best regards Daniel
