How do I reindex iOS Search?

Ever since upgrading to my new iPhone, spotlight search is missing 99% of what I search for. I had to replace an iPad last week and that is working fine with search. How can I force Spotlight on my iPhone to re-index messages search?

This is not fixing it for me. I’m still not getting results older than a month

I am having a strange behavior where using iOS spotlight search to find a folder and clicking on it launches certain apps and they begin an import. I have seen this behavior with Ulysses and OmniOutliner – I search for a folder or file with spotlight, click on it to simply view it in iOS app Files, and instead it launches one of those apps and starts trying to import it.
