Try and Force Restart your iPhone EXACTLY as shown below and see whether that resolves the issue:

• Press and quickly release Volume UP button
• Press and quickly release Volume DOWN button
• Press and Hold the SIDE button until an Apple logo appears and then release the Side button (Can take up to 20 seconds. (DO NOT release Side Button when invited to Slide Power OFF). 

After that is done then allow an hour or so for Spotlight to index and check again.

Arzaz,

Which iPhone and iOS version are you using?

Try changing the language on your iPhone to another language and then also change the region. Restart your iPhone and then change the language back to what you had and the region back to what you had. Try Spotlight again.
