This seems to be a widespread problem using Monterey. Search does not work in Spotlight and does not work in Calendar. I searched and searched for a fix on the internet and tried all of the fixes even reinstalled Monterey 12.1. Search/Spotlight still does not work. My other iMac with Mojave 14.6, my iPhone, and iPad all are able to search in Calendar just fine.
