Spotlight not finding images from internet

Hello.

Updated the system. The changelog says that Spotlight can search for images on the web. But it doesn't work. Spotlight does not find images from the internet. Why?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 13.1

spotlight cant find files but finder can? ive always had a long standing issue with spotlight and i wanted to address it publicly. quite often i open spotlight, type the name of a folder or file in and it cant find it. i then have to go to finder and search for it where it locates it without an issue. why is this? ps. ive re-indexed, deleted finder & spotlight prefs etc etc but it still never properly works.

Spotlight search only displays image and not file name. Hi, In the past when I performed a spotlight search for s certain image file, it would display all the images (jpg, png, etc.) in a list with the file names. Now you get to see the images it self and not the file names. Is it possible to get the old view back? Thanks!

Spotlight reduced functionality for images error? I recently noticed that Spotlight stopped displaying a huge amount of information related to images of all kinds: jpgs, tiffs, etc. Now, for example, if I search for FILENAME, I get a group of thumbnails under a "Photos from Apps" category with the FILENAME, but the photographs are not "in" any apps, and I can't find any information about those files. I can't see their file extensions; I can't see their full filenames; I can't find their paths. It does appear that I can "Show More", which then displays "Photos" with the same problem: no filenames, no paths, etc. Then I can click "Search in App" under that menu, but this doesn't actually search in any application. It just opens the Finder window. The Finder window does get me what I'm looking for, but it's now taking three steps to do something that used to be accomplished with one. Is there a problem with my Spotlight or is this a new design? If it is the new design, can I disable it?

I understood you. But this is not marketing. After the update, a window opened in which it was said that you can do this. Too bad it doesn't work. Will wait. Thank you.

It's in one of the footnotes in the Ventura link you posted. The third one specifically.
