Spotlight stopped searching Contacts on my new MacBook Pro

Since migrating to a new laptop (on macOS Monterey) a few days ago, my Contacts no longer show up in Spotlight results.

I tried going to [System Preferences]/[Spotlight] and tried de-selecting, then re-selecting, the checkbox for Contacts. Did not seem to change anything.

There was a 2012 thread about this same symptom, with no definitive answer: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4284182

Any ideas?
