Search in iCal app not working

I can no longer search my calendar on my iPhone. Search does work on my desktop. I have tried restarting my phone and making sure all of the calendars are showing. My phone is updated as well. Please advise. Thank you.

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 16

Salutations CaseyPMacK, 


A few questions to help isolate the issue. Can you tell us what happens when using the Search feature within the the Calendar app on your iPhone? Helpful to note if you sync your calendars with any accounts and if there are any error messages, what they say. 


Does Siri work when searching the Calendar app? You’d say something like ‘Check my calendar for….<events by title, invitees, location, and notes>.’


Also, let’s make sure those events do still appear on your calendar. Please choose a date you know has an event that isn’t showing in the Search functionality and double verify that it is showing in the Calendar app. 


Last setting for right now, in Settings > Siri & Search > Calendar is Show App in Search and Show Content in Search enabled? 


Thanks.

I'm having the same issue, which just recently started. I have the latest update 16.2. While in my calendar, I search for a word that is in my calendar for the future and in the past. It comes back with a message 'No Results'. It will only find what is in my calendar today. I don't use Siri. I tried Settings > Siri & Search > Calendar is Show App in Search and Show Content in Search enabled and restarted my phone. Don't have problems on my computer calendar, only on my phone. Other suggestions?
