iPhone Calendar Search not working iOS 17.0.2

when i search for a specific word on my MacBook calendar, it shows no results, but the word appears on my calendar.

This did not work for me /(

This worked thank you !! Tried all the usual delete app and turn phone off but this worked, very grateful.

This worked! Thank you!! Saves me hours at apple!

The solution offered by Cycling Again worked for me, too. Thank you. It felt scary to do, but it was no big deal in the end.

Thank you, whoever you are! You made my life so much easier with that answer to toggle calendars search on and off under Siri & Search

I’ve updated to 17.0.2

I can search on my iPhone calendar app and see my calendar events back to 2015 in search.

On the calendar itself, those events are not showing on my iPhone, though they are on my iPad.

I have the same settings for iCloud, for the calendar etc on both my iPhone and iPad.

I hope this is just some sort of glitch for iOS 17 that can be sorted out.

My iPad not compatible with iOS 17. It is updated as far as iOS 16.7

So I tried the work around but the issue is my calendar is through my iCloud, so when I click on the account it just sends me to my iCloud profile with no way for me to turn off the calendar. I already attempted my other accounts but all of my events are through iCloud. Any other suggestions?

Sorry to hear you’re having issues Livrlady. I was so frustrated too! My search was working but couldn’t see my appts back to 2010 on my iPhone calendar but they were all on my iPad.

I found the same sort of instructions ARPU99 and they worked.

I sure hope if you try again it will work.

I appreciate everyone’s help. Nothing has worked. About 6 appts showed up in a search yet there are at least 2 per month there. It’s been 7 hrs since I followed the instructions exactly. Does Apple still have a Genius Bar or any in person assistance… this a real inconvenience because it’s how I schedule my medical appointments and track certain medical events?

Same here. Tried to get a genius appointment but don’t appear to be here. The other option came from Apple email saying can phone or chat to get advice. How ever that didn’t work as no one available!!!

let me know if you have any luck.

im reluctant to wipe old phone for trade in as like you all medical appoints are still on old phone

No, your recommendation does not work. In fact, I can only search up to 2019. I even called Apple Support and they said I can only search past events which doesn’t make any sense. I will call again tomorrow. This is a huge issue for me.

Do you have a Gmail calendar or iCloud calendar? If you open your calendar and go to the bottom center and hit Calendars looks for the name of yours in each list. That tells you what direction to go to fix it. The iCloud fix will NOT work if it’s a Gmail calendar

It is definitely an issue with iOS 17, because after toggling OFF and on the calendar, search works on my old iPad which can only update to iOS 16.7.2, but my iPhone 13 running iOS 17.1, still cannot search in some calendars.

Hi there I am having the same problems I can't search events anymore - I'm worried that you say “delete from my iPhone" if you do this won't it delete from phone? Sorry I just cannot lose these dates so if you could explain how you can delete then it returns this work that would be great, thank you. Cheers - Stu
