This issue is usually caused by incomplete indexes.

Solution

Re-indexing Bamboo by going to CogIcon >> Overview >> Indexing >> Perform a full reindex After completing the reindex all plans should be appearing in the search results.

During the reindexing process you will be able to use Bamboo normally while the process is running, but some reports might produce incomplete results (details).
