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.

After initially restarting my iPhone, I was able to fix my calendar search issue by going to Mail-> Calendar and turning each account off. Selected Yes to Delete from my iPhone. Then I went to Apple ID -> iCloud-> Apps using iCloud and turned off Calendar there. Then back to each mail account and turned each calendar back on.

The last step was to turn Calendar back on in iCloud-> Apps using iCloud. This did the trick for me when restarting or doing the two parts by themselves didn’t. iPhone 13 Pro Max running iOS 16.2

Thanks! My iPhone calendar search was only returning some appointments but not showing many other appointments.


The recommendation to toggle the below settings off and on worked! Seems like the toggle off and on triggered re-indexing so I had to wait a while before the search functionality was fully back but after maybe half an hour search is back to showing all the results it should. Thanks again!


settings-> siri and search -> calendar: toggled off and on again both “show app in search” and “show content in search”
