Spotlight Searchbar appearing late on M1 MacBook Air

I just recently bought my M1 MacBook Air. I was used to hitting cmd+space on my late 2013 MacBook Pro and to just immediately type away. But on the M1 MacBook Air Spotlight takes a few moments to appear...

It is really annoying when quickly wanting to search something...

Does anyone have the same experience or knows how to fix this? Reindexing unfortunately didn't help...

MacBook Air (2020 or later)

Spotlight stopped working all of a sudden Hi there, Spotlight just stopped working on my M1 MacBook Air. It won't show up with my usual keyboard shortcut and won't work either when I click on the magnifying glass on the taskbar. How can I get it back working ? Thanks !

How to fix Spotlight position? I bought a MacBook Air a month ago, and initially, it was in good condition. However, after a few days, I noticed that Spotlight Search keeps moving to the left side as I use it. I haven't made any changes to settings related to Spotlight Search. As I am new to Mac, I'm currently unable to figure out how to fix it.
