Problem with typing Spotlight search

Recently, when attempting to type in a term for Spotlight search, after a couple characters the search bar disappears. When I reopen, the characters have disappeared. On trying to start over, the bar disappears again. This has rendered Spotlight which I use often unusable. This "seems" to be happening since updating to Sierra. HELP! (please!)

MacBook Pro, macOS Sierra (10.12.6)
