Tagging on here, having the same problem EVERY TIME I search in spotlight. Very annoying..... Solutions, please!! 🙂

MBP Mid 2012 retina, 2.6 ghz, 16gb ram, El Cap 10.11.6

Tagging with this exact problem too, started happening just after the most recent OS update...

Happened for me with a clean standard user (non admin) account. What was odd was that there was no crash reporter nor application quit notice: i looked in Console and there were the pair of crash reports, again about 10 sec. apart.

Sweet… board’s broken and won’t let me edit my reply. Here’s an addendum:

What i’ve noticed the last couple of days in my everyday OS user account is that if i crash it on purpose once early in the day, submit the crash report, then don’t do another Spotlight search for a few minutes, then after that, Spotlight continues to work without triggering this crash. Today when i was demonstrating it for my brother, it crashed several times in succession. Just now i called up Console and crashed it again.

Experiment for others to try: crash it once (use Spotlight) early in your usage of your Mac after startup, then don’t use Spotlight for something like half an hour or more. Try it later in the day and see whether it crashes. Seems like once it gets into the repeating crash cycle, it stays there until the next restart (or logout—i did not test logout/logins).

Another weirdness: the crashes usually come in pairs (spaced 10 seconds apart), but i’ve had a few singular crash reports. I have not been able to determine what the difference is between the pairs and the singles.

Same issue here. Exact same symptoms. Happens every time I use Spotlight Search.

I submitted a report tagging this thread, maybe they'll have a look here and see this is not an isolated issue.

Having the same issue as all others here. Ran EtreCheck below is the dump

Exact same issue here.

In my case, I move the Problem Report box to other desktop screen (I have 4 desktop screens) without clicking the "OK" button. After that, spotlight works normally for the entire day. At the end of the day, I turn off my MBP and turn it on again the next day, and the same problem happens and I do the same thing. Sounds ridiculous, but I really do not have the expertise to tinker with my machine.

I hope Apple come up with the solution ASAP. This is getting too long.

Thank you sadly this didn't work for me hopefully Apple will get a fix

Did not work for me as well. This is very annoying. I hope Apple resolves quickly.

Any luck with recent system update safari 10.0.3 ????
