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
Hey jak.son48,
It appears that when trying to use Spotlight, what you're searching for doesn't appear near the top. To start, you could see if restarting your MacBook Air may help resolve this issue: Log out, sleep, wake, restart, or shut down your Mac It may seem like a simple step, but it can sometimes resolve issues.
Another step you can take is to reindex Spotlight, which you can see how to do here: Rebuild the Spotlight index on your Mac - Apple Support Let us know how those steps go or if you've already tried those.
Take care!
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
