Spotlight stopped working all of a sudden

Hi there,


Spotlight just stopped working on my M1 MacBook Air.


It won't show up with my usual keyboard shortcut and won't work either when I click on the magnifying glass on the taskbar.


How can I get it back working ?


Thanks !

MacBook Air (M1, 2020)

Thanks for trying to help !


I went ahead and created a new user & scrapped the old one.


Kind of a hardcore way of dealing with the issue, but since all my data is in the cloud it only took me 2 minutes to do it.
