Spotlight finds everything locally but online suggestions don't work. This feature is declared in the Apple Knowledge base: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT204014. For example I want to see weather, stock prices right in Spotlight. But when I type weather in the search box Spotlight finds only local files, mail, bookmarks, history. What is wrong with this guy?
Ok, I found out what's wrong with it. It is just not available in my country... :(

Strange thing... Siri is available in Russia and Spotlight Suggestions are not.

You may need to boot into Safe Boot Mode (press/hold shift key) and allow it to clear System caches. Then reboot normally. See if that kicks Spotlight in the rear, and your weather queries now work.
I powered on the MacBook Air with 10.15.7 this morning, and immediately went to System Preferences : Security & Privacy to check on the status of location services, and found that it remains off. Yet again, in Spotlight, I entered, Weather in Dallas (1200 miles away), and it instantly presented that Spotlight result.
Plan B. Turn on the Weather extension in System Preferences : Extensions : Today, and configure it in the Notification panel's Today panel for your location, or other frequently checked locations.
The Spotlight weather syntax in that linked article does not work for me on macOS Mojave 10.14.6, but certainly does behave reliably on macOS Catalina 10.15.7 — regardless of the city. I have not rebuilt my Spotlight database on either operating system.
Well, it doesn't work for me. Even after rebuilding the index. It shows everything locally but do not show any suggestions. I have macOS Catalina 10.15.7 installed. MBP 2019 16 inch
Why Spotlight Suggestions don't work for me?
