Hi there,
Spotlight just stopped working on my M1 MacBook Air.
It won't show up with my usual keyboard shortcut and won't work either when I click on the magnifying glass on the taskbar.
How can I get it back working ?
Thanks !
MacBook Air (M1, 2020)
Thanks for trying to help !
I went ahead and created a new user & scrapped the old one.
Kind of a hardcore way of dealing with the issue, but since all my data is in the cloud it only took me 2 minutes to do it.

Did you try restarting your mac?
Yes, both in regular and safe mode. Re-indexed Spotlight as well. Nothing will do, Spotlight just won't launch.
Also logged into my sons session and Spotlight works over there.
Please run Etrecheck and post its full report here. Use the "additional text" button and paste the report into the text box.
Spotlight stopped working all of a sudden
