Search in Reminders not working after MacOS 15.4.1 update

When I search for a Reminder I know is on a list, and I can even see on my screen, it's not found.

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 15.4

Hello lindyhiker,


Go to System Settings > Spotlight, uncheck "Events & Reminders", reboot your Mac and check that setting back on. Wait a few minutes for the search index to be rebuilt.

I'm not having any issues with searching indented, scheduled or not, reminders (nested?) in different lists.


The next step would be to turn off Reminders in System Settings > [your name] > iCloud, reboot your Mac and turn the setting back on. Do not proceed if you see any message telling you your reminders would be removed.

No luck...still can't find random items that I can actually see. Some things are found, on other lists, but not one one in particular. Nothing on that list seems to be indexed for searching... I do have a LOT of reminders, lists, and nested lists - perhaps I've reached some limit that is indexed? Or perhaps some lists just fall off the indexing routine? None of the items on that list are scheduled...all are unscheduled.
