Search Functionality Broken Across Multiple Apple Apps Since Sonoma – Still Not Fixed in Sequoia
Hi Apple Community,
I’ve been experiencing a persistent issue with the search functionality across multiple Apple applications—Spotlight, Finder, Mail, Notes, Pages, Numbers, and Keynote—ever since I updated Sonoma. I recently upgraded to Sequoia, hoping this critical problem would be resolved, but the issue persists.
It’s incredibly frustrating that such an essential feature doesn’t work, especially given how vital search functionality is to any system. Whether I’m trying to locate a file in Finder, search emails, or find specific notes or documents, nothing seems to work, making it a huge bottleneck in my productivity.
I have tried so many recommendations but nothing worked. I even called Apple support and no solution. Does anyone have a fix or workaround for this issue? And more importantly, why hasn’t Apple addressed this by now?
Thanks in advance for any insights.
