Hi all,
I used to be able to quickly open applications on my Macbook M1 2020 by searching for them using Spotlight search. But ever since I updated to Monterey the applications do not show up at the top of the search, I have to scroll down at least 15 entries to open the application I searched for.
Any ideas how to fix this? It's very very irritating.
Best regards
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.0
IMHO this is a experience breaking issue, if I wanted a bad app search I would go to Windows or Linux... The only reason I pay for an expensive Mac is the OS and if the OS doesn't save me time and effort it loses it's appeal...
This should be fixed, applications should always return first without user intervention like restarting or reindexing like it was on Big Sur, Catalina, Mojave, High Sierra and so on...
Unfortunately the steps you have suggested did not work.
I had a chat with Mac support and they have also tried many thing.
As a result, they asked me to reinstall the MacOs :(
They offered a clean-reinstall.
I am planning to do it while I am in chat with Mac Support through my iphone.
I will let you know when I did it. (Planning for this week).
Spotlight search not showing applications first since Monterey update
