Why double clicking search result in spotlight not working?

I remember before upgrading High Sierra, the search result icons for Apps open it directly, Not it is not. It was a great UX element! Is there any setting to enable it? The image below should explain it.

That's how everyone has to do now - we have no other way. So, there the big icon remains just as a show!


So My question remains as it is, as Apple has killed the concept of search, Show the icon in the BIG useless icon! It's redundant now - a big UX mistake.


For the other results (see screenshot, to see what I mean), items are selectable, openable..
