Hello have been finding that the calendar app on the mac will now show future scheduled appts beyond the soonest in the search bar. Strangely when I manually go to the future scheduled appt on the actual calendar and then cut and paste it right back in, and then redo the search it shows up. the search works fine on the iPhone. Any ideas would be appreciated? Would re-indexing the calendar help? and if so how do I do that?
