Spotlight disappearing

I just purchased a new MacBook Pro yesterday, updated to Monterey 12.3.1, and spotlight search disappears after typing two characters in. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Try booting to Safe Mode. That boot up takes minutes and clears caches and other things that may resolve your problem.

A lot of times just boot to Safe Mode followed by normal boot resolves problems.
