Spotlight does not display Shortcuts (as before)
- Issue
- I cannot call up shortcuts directly in Spotlight as before. The shortcuts are not displayed.
- Scenario
- Prior MacOS26 I was used to very quickly create new reminders or Notes with Spotlight, by just searching for the shortcut name. For example, I opened Spotlight, typed "newrem" for a new reminder and pressed Enter. At present (with MacOS26) Spotlight no longer shows me any of the shortcuts after I enter their title. I know about the new options in Spotlight to search directly for e.g. Files, Apps aso. But I desire to stick with my few process steps. Open, type, enter.
- Actions taken
- Double-checked that "Shortcuts" is activated for Spotlight
- Tried to rebuild the Spotlight index Rebuild the Spotlight index on your Mac - Apple Support
- Result
- None
- Question(s)
- Is it by design that Spotlight can no longer search for shortcut titles easily and directly like prior?
- Has anyone else experienced this with MacOS26 and, if so, how was it resolved?
- Note:
- I am intentionally asking the above questions and obviously ask not for “just any” knowledgebase articles that contain random steps for a possible hope -which I tried out already. Thank you for your understanding.
