Oct 12, 2014 12:51 PM in response to Slim37by Ceppy,After trying the Language "solution" about 20 times, with every different version of it.....nothing worked. Then I went in to the keyboard, turned of Emoji and Spanish (I never turned Spanish on to my knowledge, so I am guessing that it added to my keyboards when I switched language. Search works like a charm in both the "Messages" search bar and the "Spotlight Search"
Settings> General> Keyboard> Keyboards> English> QWERTY (I already had on QWERTY and never actually went to it, but just letting you know what mine is set on)

Oct 13, 2014 3:31 AM in response to dtedgeby UberTiger,This is such a pain.
Do we have to report this as a bug somehow if we want to know that apple are investigating or can we trust someone reports bugs based on thread feedback from this forum?

Oct 13, 2014 4:45 AM in response to UberTigerby Slim37,I think that if more of us report it then there is a greater chance that Apple will address it.

Oct 13, 2014 5:24 AM in response to dtedgeby UberTiger,I've gone ahead and reported it here.
https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
Funnily enough that feedback page has a bug itself! The submit button doesn't appear in Chrome on OSX, I had to use safari to report the bug iOS bug and then submit a separate bug report for the buggy bug report page *rolleyes*

Oct 13, 2014 6:15 AM in response to vincemomoby Anatolkin,I hope a lot they will. It seems for me that searching crashes after every next synchronization vs iTunes. W\o synchronization iPhone does search in the last messages (not all but only among those last that where sent/received after last synchronization vs i Tunes). Does anybody find out the same?

Oct 13, 2014 6:28 AM in response to Anatolkinby Slim37,I can only search my most recent messages, but no more than the last 7 or 8.

Oct 13, 2014 7:15 AM in response to Slim37by professorman,I Tried all the solutions posted. The change language one works for about 24 hrs for me. Each time I do it, I am excited, then mid-afternoon the next day, I am bs m to having the problem again. This is really affecting my business performance because I keep in touch with clients by searching for their texts.

Oct 17, 2014 11:25 AM in response to ahaglundby philc62180,I have an iPhone 5S with iOS 8.0.2 and I tried the suggestion of changing languages and changing back to English. I also unchecked messages from the spotlight search menu and then checked it back on. One of these did the trick and fixed my search function inside of my text messages app. Thanks!

Oct 17, 2014 2:14 PM in response to philc62180by Gregp2424,The fix worked for about a week and a half. Today I lost ability to search in message app and spotlight. So its definitely no a permanent fix.

Oct 20, 2014 12:56 PM in response to Gregp2424by Slim37,Looks like our complaints reached the right people. iOS 8.1 is supposed to resolve this issue. See below:
- Messages includes new features, improvements and fixes
- Adds the ability for iPhone users to send and receive SMS and MMS text messages from their iPad and Mac
- Resolves an issue where search would sometimes not display results
- Fixes a bug that caused read messages to not be marked as read
- Fixes issues with group messaging
Yeah!!!! I'm downloading it now. Let's keep our fingers crossed that it works.
