receiving a request from the requesting user device for information indicating mapping of matching code objects within an extended date range that is outside of the mapped date range;

in response to the received user device request, identifying multiple respective received code objects associated with dates within the extended date range; and

sending over the network to the requesting user device, information indicating identified matching code objects within an extended date range.

10. The method of claim 1 further including:

producing a calendar UI information structure that indicates a chronological ordering of identified matching code objects;

wherein sending information indicating the identified matching code objects includes sending the calendar UI information structure over the network to one or more user devices; and

wherein sending information indicating the identified matching code objects includes sending one or more of the identified matching code objects over the network to one or more user devices.

11. The method of claim 1 further including:

producing a calendar UI information structure that includes indicia of association of identified matching code objects with date panes of a calendar UI display grid;

wherein sending information indicating the identified matching code objects includes sending the calendar UI information structure over the network to one or more user devices; and

wherein sending information indicating the identified matching code objects includes sending one or more of the identified matching code objects over the network to one or more user devices.

12. A method to produce a custom calendar user interface (UI) for display on an electronic device display screen comprising

receiving over a network from different user devices, code objects that are adapted for use to generate visual content items on the different user device display screens;

storing the received code objects in a non-transitory storage device;

receiving over the network from a user device, a search query;

identifying multiple respective received code objects that match the received search query;

sending over the network to one or more user devices, information indicating the identified matching code objects;

wherein the received objects are associated with dates;

producing a calendar UI information structure that indicates a mapping of identified matching code objects to dates within the calendar UI information structure;

wherein producing the calendar UI information structure includes:

chronologically ordering the identified matching received code objects based upon their associated dates;

mapping a forward chronologically ordered chunk of the chronologically ordered code objects to corresponding indicia of dates within the calendar UI information structure; and

mapping a reverse chronologically ordered chunk of the chronologically ordered code objects to corresponding indicia of dates within the calendar UI information structure.

13. The method of claim 12 further including:

wherein the received objects are associated with dates;

defining a reference date; and

defining the forward and reverse chronologically ordered chunks relative to the reference date.

14. A method to produce a custom calendar user interface (UI) for display on an electronic device display screen comprising

receiving over a network from different user devices, code objects that are adapted for use to generate visual content items on the different user device display screens;
