Spotlight Crashes

Spotlight suddenly started to crash after typing a few characters. I looked at the crash logs and the crash is always the same, see below. According to the crash report I seems to be related with QuickLook or Safari. I think the issue started after installing Safari 12.0 but I'm not completely sure. I tried all the usual tricks such as rebooting, forcing spotlight to reindex, to no avail. Any ideas?


This is the relevant part of the crash report:

Had the same problem - read on another forum to uncheck "Bookmarks & History" in your spotlight settings. Worked for me, but for sure a bug. Good luck
