Calendar search not working on iPhone 15 Pro Max after iOS 26 update

Hello,

Since updating to iOS 26, the search function in the Calendar app has completely stopped working on my iPhone 15 Pro Max. Whenever I type a keyword (for example, a person’s name or “meeting”), the app shows no results, even though I know the events exist.

This feature used to be extremely useful to quickly find recurring events. Now, without it, managing my calendar has become much harder.

I’ve tried the usual steps (toggling search settings, disabling/re-enabling Calendar in iCloud, rebooting the device), but nothing fixes it. It looks like a system bug, not just a configuration issue.

Please escalate this to the engineering team — many users rely heavily on Calendar search. Could you confirm if this is a known issue and if a fix is planned for an upcoming iOS update?

Thank you.

Yes! That did help! It didn’t the first time around after 26, so I was not convinced to would work this time with 26.0.1. Nonetheless, I tried it. Toggled off both the search items within the calendar app, turned off the phone, restarted the phone, toggled on the two search items within the iPhone app. It took an over half a day. Then whatever magic needed to happen with the indexing did happen. Voila! I am happy for the counsel. I am happy for the outcome! Thank you!!!

Exactly the same for me.

I just had it working on my 14 pro max and when I upgraded to 17 pro max it worked and now with 26.1 it is broke again.

Same for me. Still works on iOS 26.01, but not working on either iPadOS 26.1 or macOS 26.1

I have a iPhone 17 pro with iOS 26.1. I have tried every suggestion I could find, including the forced reboot and waiting 30 minutes. Search still does not work in the calendar.

Still same issue I have tried every scenario. The update that happened Monday morning over night has totally messed up the calendars.
