iPhone Calendar search not working

When I attempt an iPhone calendar search, I get the response "No Results". The iPhone calendar does have all of the events, but the search comes back empty. I also have a 2022 MacBook Air and the calendar search on the Mac works fine. Also, all items between the phone and the Mac sync. I have turned my phone off and on and no change.

I did the most recent update iOS 16.1 and my calendar search function appears to be working again.

settings - calendar - I clicked sync events for 2 weeks - swiped down app to refresh.

Dear Apple, This continues to be an issue and, from just this stream, would seem to be an enduring issue. I agree with a recent poster that the issue resides only with the iPhone OS as my iPad searches are rich in their results. As most of us carry our phones with us all the time, it would seem to be a serious issue that should get resolved.

I had that enabled so it might not be the same issue that I had but here’s something I noticed when I was checking g to see if I had that Siri option enabled.


To test this I needed to remember something that old to search for in my calendar. But couldn’t think of anything to search for older than a year or more so I went to the calendar and scrolled back two years and at first there was nothing in my calendar (no dots on days to indicate there’s an event there when in year view). But then events started showing up in the calendar as I assume it started pulling events down from iCloud.


So here’s my guess, when searching originally I think the event I was looking for was older and not synced down. But if I scroll back a couple years it triggers it to pull down events and now it will find events in those years.


Either way it seems very odd that the app can’t pull search results from iCloud fast enough.
