We have updated two M2 MacBooks with the latest MacOS Ventura operating system, unfortunately the Spotlight search function does not return search results when we search SMB2 shares of Servers and PCs virtualized both with VMware and HyperV 2019.
Previously with the OS version Momnterey using the same spotlight function the search worked perfectly.
We ask for your help in solving.

I want to rebuild the Spotlight index for the Calendar app, since searches for Calendar events do not find events that I can see are there in the MacOS Calendar app, and that I can find when searching on my phone.
But the instructions at "Rebuild the Spotlight index on your Mac - Apple Support" say how to rebuild the Spotlight index for specified locations, not for apps like Calendar. I'm wondering what location I should use rebuilding the Spotlight index for Calendar.
Function Spotlight MacOS Ventura.
