I'm having problems with spotlight too. In system preferences, the search field is not working, it doesn't filter as you type. I have the "Paste" app (clipboard manager) installed and since upgraded to Sonoma the search field doesn't work either. I'm testing other apps. Already re-index everything and still doesn't work.

Same problem here. Things I've already done: Disabled gatekeeper Disablde System Integrity Protection (SIP) Blocked ocsp.apple.com in /etc/hosts Verified Sharing and Permissions to Read&Write via file info (cmd-i) Added check to the App in Full Disk Access in Security & Privacy Still no luck.
