A method for proactively providing information to a user about an event involving the user includes receiving user input indicating a request to display a search page and displaying the search page in response to the user input. In addition, event information may be automatically obtained and displayed on the search page in response to the user input. Some examples of event information that may be provided include participant information about a participant in the event other than the user, file information about a file that is relevant to the event, and conversation information about a conversation that is relevant to the event.
