Spotlight said "extension com.apple.safari.safariquicklookpreview" when I want to preview safari websites

I don't know why but I can't preview websites that I've visited before in spotlight.

When I type something in spotlight (websites address) spotlight returns "extension com.apple.safari.safariquicklookpreview not found".

I tried to trace the file in the safari but the file "safariquicklookpreview.appex" is exist.

So I confused why spotlight can't find it. Also I tried to index my system but still no luck.

Any help?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.14

Hello Amanochhi,

Thanks for posting on Apple Support Communities. It sounds as though the Spotlight index on your Mac isn't providing results. You may need to rebuild the Spotlight index. These resources may be helpful:

If rebuilding the Spotlight index still doesn't fix the issue, you may need to reinstall the OS.
