      Description

      Identically named events are a more common use case than the community might realize. "Board Meeting", "Volunteer Orientation" or "Weekly Seminar" might happen regularly.

      It is difficult to distinguish these events apart in the dropdown (see attached).

      It is not always desirable for the end user to distinguish events by redundantly entering location or date within the event title itself.

      Changes were made in event reports along these lines in 4.3, I sponsored TwoMice's work on this patch.

      Suggest we do so also on the "event autocomplete" in Find and Search we include:

      1. id# of the event and/or
      2. date of the event

      As a distinguishing clue.
