iPhone photos and messages not indexing after iOS 17 Update

After the iOS 17 update, and the first patch, (17.0.1) my photos are no longer indexed properly. For example, if I just try to search for 9/21, I get five random photos from different dates. PLEASE HELP!

I have restarted the device multiple times and have also learned that it may take up to one week to re-index after the update, but I don’t think that’s the problem.

The senior advisor recommend me to let the phone fully sync (not paused) in a stable network connection. I left my phone over the weekend and everything seems to get back in place, at least no other problem yet. (2 weeks alr)
