Calendar search facility no longer working since ios 26 upgrade

Hi - since downloading ios26 last night, I’ve noticed that the calendar search facility no longer works on iPhone or iPad. It is not even working with new appointments entered since the update was installed. Has anyone else experienced this and can someone assist please. It is a function I use regularly. Thanks in advance.

iPhone 15

yes, I'm replying to my own post..... VIOLA!! I returned to the problem of the calendar search on my iPhone 16 plus, IOS 26.0.1: I went to settings, turned off search in the calendar app, backed up the phone, turned off the phone, restarted after about a minute, turned on the search in the calendar app, backed up the phone and the search works again, just as it's supposed to!! trust this helps someone.

Ok but having to download yet another app you don’t particularly want to fix an issue that Apple has known about FOR MONTHS!! is nonsensical.


obv I’ve downloaded it and will try it out but according to the bro’s AI (iOS 26) is supposed to fix problems not add to them. I’ve yet to find an AI benefit & have loads of downsides.


how long do I have to downgrade to 18 again?
