A method for scheduling calendar events includes receiving a search request with a plurality of constraints, searching the calendaring system databases to obtain a set of candidate calendar events that meet at least some of the constraints, calculating event reschedule factors for each candidate calendar event for which at least one participant has a conflicting calendar event, ranking the set of candidate calendar events based in part of the event reschedule factors, and preparing them for presentation. In various embodiments and circumstances, event reschedule factors correspond to one or more of: the ease of rescheduling a conflicting calendar event, an ease of overwriting a conflicting calendar event, the response status of the participants, the number of participants in the conflicting calendar event.
