Hello Ari, While I have been following this thread, I only now attempted to perform a search in the native iOS Calendar app.
The search worked perfectly. In fact, after reading this thread, I was expecting it not to work. I suspect that your problem may have something to do with either (1) the length of time you keep your appointments in your Calendar and/or (2), the view from which you launch the search. Just so you know, I performed my search while in the list view. This is the simplest view in which each event in the Calendar is listed on it's own line. Also, I have my Calendar set to sync as far back in the past as it will allow. I believe it's something like two years or so. All I did to perform the search was to tap the Search button near the upper right corner of the display. Then I typed in a character string such as, surgery. It was not necessary to hit a search button for as I typed, the matching items auto-populated the results table. Can you try to recreate my scenario and let us know what happens?

I was trying with one word at a time, not with multiple words. When I say I used multiple words, I meant that I tried one word, got no results, then tried another word, and also got no results. I may try Fantastical.
