my spotlight tool bar disappears after I type in 3 letters
my spotlight tool bar disappears after I type in 3 letters..what is up?
MacBook Pro with Retina display, iOS 10.2
I'm having the same problem and it's driving me nuts 🙂
Question marked as
I think it has everything to do with the Safari 12 update. Turn OFF (uncheck) the "Bookmarks & History" option in Spotlight pane in System Preferences. The problem will stop until Apple fixes Safari.
Here is the thread I started yesterday: Spotlight crashes after typing a few letters since Safari 12 update

It does not look like you're using Sierra. I am using Sierra. And all of the other new threads about this issue are being reported in the Sierra board. It's very possible the OP posted his thread in the High Sierra board by mistake, especially since his tagline says he's running iOS on a MacBook Pro.
See this thread in the Sierra board: Spotlight search always quits itself when typing.
