Hi - since downloading ios26 last night, I’ve noticed that the calendar search facility no longer works on iPhone or iPad. It is not even working with new appointments entered since the update was installed. Has anyone else experienced this and can someone assist please. It is a function I use regularly. Thanks in advance.
iPhone 15
This worked for me. Went to the Calendar app in “Settings”. Turned the “Search” off & on and now things are searchable in the Calendar app.

yes, I'm replying to my own post..... VIOLA!! I returned to the problem of the calendar search on my iPhone 16 plus, IOS 26.0.1: I went to settings, turned off search in the calendar app, backed up the phone, turned off the phone, restarted after about a minute, turned on the search in the calendar app, backed up the phone and the search works again, just as it's supposed to!! trust this helps someone.
Stumbled upon a temporary fix until Apple sorts it out. Use the Spotlight search bar by swiping down from the middle of the home screen. Type in the search details and a couple of calendar entries will be displayed. Hope this helps meantime…..
Try going to settings, calendar, search & turn the two options off & on again. Worked for me.
Just did the 26.0.1 update and calendar search is back.
Switching calendar search options (in system settings) off then back on worked for me too. I didn’t upgrade to iOS 26 but recently updated 18.x.x. I’ll remember this trick because it isn’t the first time my iCal search stopped working.
Spent time on phone with Apple upper level support and she said Apple is aware of this problem as reports were coming in at that time on Wednesday when I called.
it has been turned over to engineers as she said so hopefully it will be fixed quickly.
Nope... search on my iPhone 16+ is up-to-date IOS 26.0.1. When I request a search it shows: no results. But if I press the small x in the search field, viola... it brings up the requested search: sometimes, maybe ½ the time. I've turned off/on the search request in settings but no help. The suggestions to click search and swiping down from the middle of the page doesn't work on my iPhone, maybe that's for an iPad or MacBook? Anyway, I've closed the calendar app/turned off my phone and still search doesn't give me a result. So far my MacBook Air M4 calendar works fine. Guess I'll have to wait longer and HOPE.
Downloaded developer update today and now calendar search facility works as it did before.
I finally downloaded Google Calendar because I can’t wait weeks for Apple to fix this search problem. I have too many VA appointments that I can’t afford to miss if I don’t check my calendar every day.
I’ve got the same problem. I am a disabled vet and I need my calendar lists all my VA appointments. I make them as VA then whatever appointment is so I can or used to be able to just search VA and all my A appointments pop up.
I need to be able to use calendar to do this search.
I tried this. Prior to trying it absolutely nothing would come up with search, after trying it I type in one letter and it pops up three or four things. None of them are any later than 2018. So weird.
I put an appointment in yesterday that had the name Annie in it and I go to search for Annie and I get zilch. I hope they fix this soon. I take elderly people who can no longer drive to Dr appointments and searching every single day for their appointments among all the other personal things of my own is time-consuming and annoying.
same here
iphone AND ipad
tryed every hint i can find (disable sync, hardreset and so on....)
nothing helps
nope
not for me
Thank you. It works!
