Q: Spotlight does not find many calendar entries (iPhone 5, iOS 6)

I just got an iPhone 5 (iOS 6), and I used Spotlight to try to find calendar entries. It appears that it misses most of them, and sometime all. For example, Outlook 2010 indicates I have over 140 calendar entries containing "hair cut", yet the iPhone's Spotlight finds only 15. I also have two doctor's appointments, while Spotlight finds none.

 

I have confirmed:

(1) These entries exist in the iPhone's calendar

(2) Key words I'm searching for are correctly spelled, and in the Title field

(3) Settings > General > Spotlight Search > (all ON)

(4) I type correctly in the Spotlight search field

 

Searching directly in the Calendar's List view yields identically flawed results.

 

Any explanation? I suspect this is a bug. Any solution or work-around? Thanks in advance.
