Updated my 15pro to 17.0.2 and I can no longer search in the calendar app. No matter what I search for, it comes up with “no results”
My calendar has successfully transferred all appointments, but nothing will come up in a search

I managed to fix from this answer. Might help for you also
“I was just on the phone with Apple support about this same issue and here is the fix that they gave me that worked: Settings>Mail>Account (select the correct account)>Calendar
then toggle OFF calendar. It asks if you want to delete the account and you accept. After about a minute, toggle it back on, and the calendar entries will start repopulating, and the search function will start working. Depending on how many calendar entries you have, it will take a while to update, but I have thousands and it updated in less than one hour. Search function works again.”

Settings > tap your name > tap iCloud > Under “Apps using iCloud” tap “Show All “> tap iCloud Calendar > switch off “Use on this iPhone” > then choose “delete from my iPhone.
Wait a minute or so, and turn “Use on this iPhone” back on.
There was already an existing issue with searching in the calendars which has been going on for over a year, and that is the fact that if you edit an entry in the search results, that change isn’t reflected in the search results when iOS takes you back to that screen after the edit. This makes it confusing to see if you’ve edited or not (I typically need to change several and I can’t see where I’ve got to).
But for this new issue, bear this in mind:
It’s a new version of iOS on a new iPhone model. There’s always issues like this every time new iPhones are released. We’ll just have to wait for Apple to release iOS 17.0.3 to fix it.
“Updating iOS on your iPhone should typically not alter the fundamental functionality of the device.”
Correct. Nevertheless it did.
“It's possible that there were underlying issues before this update, which you might not have been aware of previously or might not have noticed.”
in theory I agree. But the issue started as of updating to 17.0.2.
as per my answer to David, I managed to fix it.
I also updated to ios 7.0.1 and now I can’t find my kids appointment dates thru search… he spent 2mo in NICU and has more appointments than I had in the last 10 years, and now that…
Anyone knows how soon will that be fixed ?
I’ve found that anything you add after the update is searchable. Just nothing that was there before!
How?
THAT’S what worked for me!
It took a bit of time for it to load it back up but my calendar is all up to date with all my events!
I was having the exact same issue with a new iPhone 15 Pro Max running iOS 17.0.2. This is what worked for me:
Settings>Calendar>Accounts (select the account with the calendar you are having issues searching. I chose iCloud)>iCloud>under Apps Using iCloud select Show All>Select iCloud Calendar>Toggle off Use on This iPhone>Select Delete from my iPhone>Wait 1 minute then toggle back on. Calendars will come back from your iCloud. Give it some time and search will begin working again.
Go to Settings/ Calendar/ Accounts/ iCloud/ iCloud/ Show All (Make sure Calendar is toggled on).
Also try this - open your calendar app. At the bottom, tap Calendars. Uncheck all Calendars. Tap Done. Do a hard restart of your iPhone. Go back to Calendars and check them back on.
Everyone still having issues, please check Settings > Calendar > Sync. Makes sure that’s set to “All Events” if that’s what you desire.
If you’re not using iCloud Calendar, likely none of these steps will help.

Thank you! It worked!
Settings>Your Name>iCloud>Show All>iCloud Calendar> toggle off “Use On This Phone”…wait a couple of minutes, then toggle “Use On This Phone” back on. Then wait for events to repopulate Calendar. Then search should work. It did for me!
Hi Stu,
If iCloud storage is maxed out, that can cause a variety of issues with synced data.
Check Settings > your name > iCloud . Show All > iCloud Calendar to see if it's on. If it isn't, these steps wouldn't't help.
iCloud storage, if you're on the basic 5GB plan, can be increased 10x to 50GB for USD$.99/month. Other plan pricing is here: iCloud+ plans and pricing - Apple Support. Increasing your space might resolve issues.
Before attempting anything, it's good policy to back up to a computer: How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
If you don't have a computer you can back up to, increased iCloud storage would be important so that iCloud backups work properly, and synced data (such as Contacts, Calendars, Photos (if enabled) Health, and more, work properly.

The solution was to toggle the iCloud calendar “use on this phone” back to on again. It then asks if you want to merge your local existing calendars. You need to allow that. Thanks for the help everyone!
There’s an even simpler fix:
Settings > Siri & Search > Calendar
Toggle “Show Content in Search” off, and then back on.
This basically does the same thing to reestablish calendar search without actually needing to delete it.
