Calendar History search not working

I recently had the battery replaced in my iPhone 7. And now the search history function for the calendar app will not display any past calendar events. I have synced it to all events, searched discussion forums, turned the phone on and off, none of which have worked. The past events are still in my calendar but not searchable. I use this function often and would be so grateful for a remedy!!

iPhone 7, iOS 14

Hello Nikkimtngirl,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!


We understand from your post that you have not been able to have past events from your calendar show up in your search results. Make sure that you have Sync set up to All Events. Search will only bring results from the time frame you have set under Settings > Calendar > Sync.


If your iCloud Contacts, Calendars, or Reminders won’t sync - Apple Support


"Change how often your calendars update: 


  1. Tap Settings, then Calendar.
  2. Tap Sync.
  3. If All Events is selected, choose a specific timeframe instead, like Events 1 Month Back. If a specific timeframe is selected, choose All Events instead. 
  4. Return to your Home screen. 
  5. Wait a few minutes, then open the Calendar app. Tap the Calendars tab, and swipe down to refresh."


Best Regards.
