Calendar Search not working on iPhone

The search function in the calendar app no longer works. No matter what I search I get “no events”. Does anyone know how to get this back? The events are still in the calendar, they just aren’t found using the search option.

Fixed this in iOS 16.6 via settings->siri and search-> calendar then toggled off and on again both “show app in search” and “show content in search.” Prior to this search calendar only showed birthdays, after I see entries 10+ years old

I have the same problem on just 1 Mac M1 Max - on every other device including this M1 Max -- ALL the calendar entries are present but on the on the M1 Max - the search in the calendar is not working properly.

Have called Apple support - they had no idea how to fix this.

I could try the mail account as suggested but being on the Mac it may be different?

I had this issue after updating to iOS 17. My fix is slightly different because my calendar events are connected to my iCloud account, not an email server. If yours are too, try this:

-go to settings

-select your Apple ID

-select iCloud

-under “Apps Using iCloud” touch “Show All”

-find “iCloud Calendar” and toggle it off where it says “Use on this iPhone.” Select “delete from this phone” to confirm. Your events will come back when you turn it back on after a minute or two.

It took a little bit for the events to repopulate, but when they did, my search function works again!
