Basically, I am adding a Google Hangout button to my Contact page. The idea is for my visitors to be able to press the button and for it to initiate a Google Hangout with me.
Is this possible?
Is there anything that makes this possible?

When you create a hangout, just copy the URL at the top of the pop-up window that opens up. Send it to anyone you want. They need to sign in with a Gmail account (that is associated with a Google+ profile) and they will be added to the hangout.
I don't understand why you want to use a non-word description - if you don't want to reveal to others viewing the calendar what it actually is, you could still use something vague/generic like "rem" or "xxxxx" which would both be searchable.
However, if you really don't want that, whilst searching for equals doesn't seem to work, what you can do is use underscore instead.
I just created an event called _____ (five underscores) and I was able to search for it using "_____".
(It must be quoted to work - unquoted doesn't work.)

I found this on Google Developers:
Get a Developer APP ID
The button must contain the app ID of your Hangout app or extension. Go to the APIs Console, select the Hangouts project you want the button to start, then copy the app ID from the current URL at the top of the browser, like this — it's the number that follows "project:", and will be at least 12 digits long.
//code.google.com/apis/console/b/0/#project:123456789012Test your app
To test starting a hangout with your app or extension running in it, go to:
https://hangoutsapi.talkgadget.google.com/hangouts/_?gid=APP_IDwhere you replace APP_ID with the value from the previous step. This URL is used in the next step.
Adding a button to your page
The Hangout button comes in the following four sizes: 79×15, 86×20, 24×100, 60×230. Each button is followed by the HTML code you should embed in your page. Replace APP_ID with your application's app ID (from above).
This is the code for the 79×15 button:
<a href="https://plus.google.com/hangouts/_?gid=APP_ID" style="text-decoration:none;"> <img src="https://ssl.gstatic.com/s2/oz/images/stars/hangout/1/gplus-hangout-15x79-normal.png" alt="Start a Hangout" style="border:0;width:79px;height:15px;"/> </a>Click on the button to start a hangout with your public application or extension running inside it.
