Search on iPhone calendar

Hi EPerk,

I had the same issue a couple of times. It usually has something to do with iCloud syncing properly. You should do this on all your Apple devices too since it is an iCloud thing:

--> If on your Mac (in my case a 2019 MacBook Pro running Ventura 13.2.1), open Calendar app > Select Calendar at top/left > Accounts > select iCloud (CalDAV) > un-check "Enable this account" > give it a couple of seconds, then re-check "Enable this account. This will start to re-index your events in Calendar.

--> If on your iPhone, open Settings > Calendar > Accounts > iCloud account > iCloud (above Media & Purchases) > APPS USING ICLOUD > Show All > Calendars > turn green dot off > "Keep on My iPhone" > let it synchronize > turn green dot back on. This will start to re-index your events in Calendar on your iPhone.

Hope this helps?

I’m having the same issue with my calendar app (that comes on all of the iPhones). Normally I can search a single word from a past or future event I had in my calendar and it would pop up… but last week I noticed it was no longer working. No matter what I searched— even if it was things that I KNOW are currently in my calendar, the search results come back as “no results.” It’s super frustrating. I reference previous things & dates in my calendar all of the time. I don’t understand what’s going on. I did the iOS 16.3.1 update a couple days ago, assuming that would be the magical fix to this issue, but nope, the search feature is still not working. If you figure it out please let me know!

The solution provided by FAMFOBOS fixed the issue -- disabling and re-enabling Calendar for the iCloud account

iPhone Calendar? Apple Calendar? There is no such thing.

Please check which is your Default email Account for the Calendar on your device? Settings > Calendar > Default Calendar

All the devices sync with an email client server which hosts your calendar. If you have a Calendar on iCloud that will not sync with Google Calendar. Settings > Calendar > Default Calendar [Choose what you want]. What you add (Event) on iPhone Calendar is synced with default calendar unless you have chosen a specific calendar at the time of event creation.

To which email account are the calendar events synced with your iPhone? This is not clear in your post

Thank you so much!!! This fixed my same issue.

Agreed! This worked for me!
