Very date-heavy page does not turn up in a date search, or is missing dates from the search index
What you are seeing
A page packed with dates does not turn up when you search for one of its dates, or some of its dates are missing from the search index.
#Why it happens
The date search index records up to 200 different dates for each page. It keeps the first 200 and skips the rest, so a search for a later date won't find that page.
#What to do
You have two options.
Split the page. Break a very long, date-heavy page into smaller pages, so each one stays under 200 dates.
Use page sources instead of the date search. Add the page to a calendar from the Pages tab in the calendar's settings. Page sources read the page directly each time, so every date is picked up.

#Settings involved
Setting | Where | What it does |
|---|---|---|
Pages from search | Calendar Configuration panel → Pages | "Search for pages to include". The calendar checks every page the search returns for dates. Filter Mode and Result Limit can't be changed until you switch this on. |
Result Limit | Calendar Configuration panel → Pages from search | How many pages the search returns, and so how many pages are checked for dates. |
#Limits that apply here
Limit | Value | What happens |
|---|---|---|
Pages from search source | Your Result Limit | Dates on pages beyond the limit don't appear, and there's no warning. |
Date search index | 200 dates per page | The page's first date, last date and the people mentioned on it are always recorded. Only the list of individual dates is capped. |
Indexed date search results | - | The date search doesn't run at all until the calendar has worked out which dates it is showing. |
