Might be corrupted Spotlight preferences ...


Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder


Type or copy paste the following:


~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.spotlight.plist


Click Go then move the com.apple.spotlight.plist file to the Trash.


Restart your Mac then try Spotlight.
