Just got my new MacBook today and was trying to check for some upcoming events on calendar, but the search function is not working. Anyone else experienced this and found a solution? (Not a problem on my iPhone 14 Pro OS17.4.1.) Thanks!
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 14.2
Rebuilding the spotlight index from the command line seems like it has solved the problem (sudo mdutil -E /). Using the Apple method for rebuilding the spotlight index did not work.
I have the same problem after updating to macOS Sonoma 14.4.1. After a lot of troubleshooting (removing calendar accounts and restoring, rebuilding spotlight etc.) that did not work, I reinstalled the operating system. This seemed to solve the problem (e.g. I could search for calendar events), but now a day later I have the same buggy behavior.
I now have a solution, at least for my case. The issue is that my laptop is "managed" by my university. Our IT organization performed the initial configuration, there is Cisco management software, and there is an IT user account. My account has full administration privileges. However, when I changed my netIT password, the macOS secure token was not updated properly for my account. I could log into my computer but not use my updated netID password to change settings (like accessibility) or access the spotlight database work (so I could not search my calendar). Having my IT support folks come and update my Mac secure token solved the problem.
Try updating the Mac to macOS Sonoma 14.4.1.
Thanks for sharing. I restarted my macbook pro and also wandered around the calendar settings, making sure all three of my calendars were checked on. Finally got it to work.
PS one of those weird things where a fix finally worked, totally unanticipated and not complicated after several fails.
