Hello Travelerspay,


Thank you for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. Our recommendation that can help is to temporarily turn off Calendar for the affected account that you're using for the Calendar app. If you're using iCloud, you can go to Settings > Calendar > Accounts > iCloud > iCloud > Show All > Calendar.


For a third party account with Calendar you can go to Settings > Calendar > select your account > turn off Calendar.


Then, restart your iPhone and turn on Calendar for the affected account and see if you can search for your past events in the Calendar app. Following these steps may help.


Kind regards.
