We all know “coverflow” is pretty cool. You may or may not use it often. Previously we’ve covered how to view your system fonts with coverflow, but how about this neat trick to view your iCal events?
In Finder, switch to Cover Flow view mode (View -> As Cover Flow), then press Command-F to place the cursor in the Finder’s search box. To isolate Spotlight matches to just iCal events, enter kind:ical in the search box, then press the Space Bar, and type in the word or words that you’d like to find on those iCal events—Leopard in this example. At this point, you may or may not see matches in the results area!

I couldn’t get this to work- I didn’t have a Coverflow View in Finder as an option- I know I must be doing something wrong………

Judy: do you have leopard?
is there a way to view all iCal events like that? like are they all stored in a certain folder?

How do I view iCal like that? Or do I always have to do it that way?

I couldn’t get this to work, either. I did everything that the directions say and I have Leopard and I know what cover flow view is.

No joy for me either. With just the kind:ical element you can see all the ical entries but as soon as you start to put the keyword in coverflow goes black.

Did not work for me either. Is there a preference setting etc that must be changed I wonder.
