Sep 21, 2014 3:38 PM in response to dtedgeby Joelrubi,Switching the language back and forth did not work for me either. I have an iPhone 6. I'll chalk it up to a bug for now and wait for Apple to issue a fix. Supposedly at the end of the month is what is speculated for a fix. Really weird that something like this would be missed at beta. Wasted a lot of time trying to find a fix for this.

Sep 22, 2014 1:13 PM in response to dtedgeby sput_nick,After trying everything suggested here and countless other options, I elected to "Erase All Content & Settings" and set back up through my iCloud back up. It's not saomething I necessarily wanted to do, and it took a while, but after all was said and done, I am now able to search through my messages. This has been the only thing that I have seen work. If you need to search through your texts and iMessages as badly as I have had to, I suggest doing this. Hope it works for you.

Sep 22, 2014 4:53 PM in response to sput_nickby FEDPerfection,Apple had me restore my phone but suggested not to do the backup to avoid bringing over bad coding. I've lost a lot but think I may have to use the old back up to get things back.

Sep 25, 2014 7:37 PM in response to Wboteroby Joelrubi,After updating to 8.0.2 successfully, everything is fine EXCEPT that I still can NOT search Messages. I have an iPhone 6, so maybe this problem is limited to the 6. Real bummer. Apple is so sloppy these days.

Sep 26, 2014 12:05 AM in response to dtedgeby mortenldk,Had same problem on an iPhone 5C iOS 8.0.2.
Tried to change the language - did not solve the problem.
Toggled iMessage off in Settings - Messages. That made the in-app search function work again.
Toggled iMessage back on and search is still working.
But the search results are not entirely consistent. There are messages, that the in-app search will not find but Spotlight on the home screen will.
Why??

Sep 26, 2014 12:17 AM in response to mortenldkby SiaGee,Same problem on 5S; 8.0.2 didn't solve the issue.
search in messages only seems to search the messages after iOS 8 upgrade.
Waiting for 8.0.3!!!

Sep 26, 2014 6:56 AM in response to dtedgeby cristivlc,I also did everything on my iPhone 5 from changing language to resetting all settings. Nothing worked, but iOS 8.0.2 fixed it. Moreover spotlight search in messages is far more improved.

Sep 26, 2014 2:30 PM in response to ahaglundby ILuvApples,Switching languages worked for me after a few switches back and forth. Fingers crossed.
