Hello ggnrg,
Thanks for reaching out to us!
You can definitely search by month using the “Date” field within the search field. For example, if I would like to search within December of this year, the format there would be 2014-12. Additionally, if you approach via the Month view of the calendar, the options for that section will default to month rather than days.
You can also search by state within the “Near” field within the search bar for Events Calendar Pro. Here is a screenshot of what both of those items would look like within the default search bar.
Let me know if this helps.
Thanks!
