Still consider this a very basic function.

"Hey, did you know there's a talk by starbug today?" "Really? Great, let me check it out and set a reminder ...

<Realise I can't search, although I have all the data in the app>

<Search in the online Fahrplan and finally find the talk, switch to the app and favourite it.>

Room for improvement... ;)

More filter criteria requested by users:

• Filter by language
• Filter events which are not streamed (useful for users watching at home), related: Allow to hide individual rooms #100

One year later, 36c3 coming up, still searching for search... :)

Interface-wise I would suggest the view as for favourites and a simple full text search box and the list gets populated with every hit. Perhaps some basic sorting - timeline, appearances, speaker, title.

@torantal True. At this point time it is still a matter of resources. I am driving this project on my own, unpaid and in my free time. I have to prioritize the work. I am trying to make transparent what I work on to let people follow along.

Nevertheless, I appreciate you interest in the project. If you want to sketch out a possible implementation or design then this is a very valuable contribution to the project.

If an interface mockup would help I'd be happy to sketch something out.

Visuals drafts are always helpful. It might attract others to work on this issue.

In this context I think it would make sense to reconsider how and where to put all the toolbar items in generell when adding such a think as search and filters. A bottom navigation or a floating action button come to my mind but I have not thought through which idea leads to a good user experience. If a redesign is needed in order to implement search/filter we can split the task in smaller issues. For now this issue can be used to discuss ideas.
