iPhone 16 IOS 18 mail search results not showing more than 1 or 2 out if way more

iOS 18. iPhone 16. I can receive and send mail normally. No problem.

The issue is when searching for email subjects, there are a little or no results. I know for sure that I have many results for a specific topic especially when dealing with my website.

I'm getting this message:

"Some Results May Not Appear. Mail downloads and organizes messages when iPhone is locked, charging, and connected to Wi-Fi. Large accounts like this may take longer."

I've always been able to search email and get many results all along until recently.

My phone has been locked, charging and connected to Wi-Fi all the time when I'm not taking it outside. Nothing changes.

I've done force restarts and have the latest iOS.

Any advice, please? Thanks!

I am encountering the same issue on iPhone 14 Pro Max with 18.1 installed. It is really annoying as I am basically not able to find mails in my inbox anymore. All search results are almost a month old or older. Newer mails are never found.

When will there be a fix??

I have contacted Apple three different times now about this issue and they are essentially clueless. A "senior technician" has called me twice now with zero results and no commitment to any type of fix. He even said this may be "expected behavior" for the new IOS software which is a nightmare answer. Apple has totally lost their focus on the customer and if you cannot search your emails on the phone what is the point of the device!
