Reminders App in Monterey

Since upgrading to Monterey the Search feature does not find Completed items.

This is useful as I have a Shopping List and I was able to search, select and complete items according to my weekly needs.

Has this feature gone?

Is there a way to re-enable it

MacBook Air 11″, macOS 11.4

Search for Completed Reminders in MacOS? In macOS Monterey Reminders, I want to search across all my lists for a task, whether it is marked completed or not. I use this feature a lot with my various shopping lists. I'll mark something as completed once I buy it, then later mark it as incomplete when I need to purchase it again. If I try to search for "tomatoes" to add them to my shopping list, the search will return no results since "tomatoes" are marked as completed. BTW, this is not the behavior in iOS, it will return the correct results, regardless of whether a task is marked as completed or not.

How do I revert reminders in Monterey? I had no idea that the "new" version of reminders was going to break out all my reminders into separate lists. I hate it. I just want a list of what I need to get done, not what needs to be done for each of a bunch of categories. Unless your some incredibly diverse and busy person that you need to categorize to dos for a bunch of subjects I find it much easier to just keep them in a list with the most important ones in order so I can see what needs to be done in a linear fashion. You know, like a LIST, not a bunch of separate lists on separate pieces of paper. So, how can I revert this mistake I have made?

Reminders in Monterey works differently to iOS There are certain actions that are unavailable in Reminders for Monterey (iMac) than with Reminders iOS. For example, in Monterey I cannot move a Reminder to another list. Why is this? Is there a plan to make them work the same way?

I never used it before, but in the found items, the standard "X completed show" header indicates there are completed items found by the search.

Thanks Barney,

Obvious really!

I'm completely familiar with the Show and Hide but haven't had to use it before when using Search. The update to Monterey must have changed the background setting..

Thanks for your help.
