Calendar Search not working on MacBook

When I search my calendar for events on my laptop, only future events are showing up. This is a new issues that started happening ... I've always been able to see past events as well. I also notice it's sometimes buggy displaying future events, too (not showing results for events, that I can actually see displayed for tomorrow, etc.) Everything is fine on my iPhone and iPad calendar search functions ... all my devices are synched.

My MBP is running MacOS Big Sur, v. 11.6

It is happening with ALL my calendars I'm pulling in --- iCloud, plus third-parties (yahoo, work, etc.).

My default is an iCloud calendar.

And, again ... this is just happening on my laptop. Everything is fine on my iPhone and iPad.

Thanks,

Hello etjNC,

Thanks for that info and for choosing the Apple Support Communities. If we understand correctly, you are unable to search in the Calendar app on your Mac. First, try running First Aid on your hard drive with the built in Disk Utility tool, as this can correct simple issues like you're experiencing.

Next, use safe mode to start up your Mac as it does the following things:

Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed
Loads only required kernel extensions
Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically
Disables user-installed fonts
Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files

Log in to your user account and test the issue while in safe mode and then restart normally and test the issue again.

Graphics performance limited in macOS Recovery, safe mode, or Guest User mode

Cheers!
