I'm not able to perform a search mail in my Mail app. Help?

I'm not able to perform a search in my Mail app. I've restarted the Mail app, restarted my computer, removed and added the email accounts, & rebuilt the mailboxes. This has been so frustrating. Any insight?

iMac 27″ 5K, macOS 13.3

Verify your Spotlight settings includes Mail...

>System Settings>Spotlight


I would reindex Spotlight...

Rebuild the Spotlight index on your Mac - Apple Support


For the most complete re-index use the Macintosh HD drag and drop method
