273376 - Enable searching for remote calendars

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 311763

(Calendar :: Internal Components, enhancement)

Description

[Victor Engmark]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

Currently there seems to be no way to search for remote calendars directly from
SB. Maybe a search dialog like the default one in Firefox could be used, and it
would execute the default browser with the search string needed.

The search should either contact a central site like
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/holidays.html, or a generic search
engine capable of finding ICS files directly.

if you subscribe remote calendar you can search it as the local one

but you probably would like to add to Sunbird web services which is really huge feature

I think this is something we would definitely want to provide in the product, and I was a little surprised there wasn't already a bug for it. There are related bugs to this issue: bug 355270, bug 306495, and bug 356569.

Even if our "search for remote calendars" just brought the user to a static webpage that contained many links to many providers of calendars, that would be better than having nothing at all. 

Therefore, I will confirm this bug.  

This is something that should also be in Lightning as well, so I am going to move the component of this to "Internal Components".
