How recently was this computer upgraded to Tahoe ?
The Commercially Released version was only released 10 days ago - Sept 15, 2025
How many times was this machine restarted since the upgrade ?
Has Spotlight finished indexing all the changes since the upgrade?
To check if Spotlight has finished indexing on your Mac, click the Spotlight icon in the menu bar; if indexing is ongoing, a progress bar will appear beneath the search field.
FYI
Having upgraded this machine on day one of release
Any entity or person currently appears in the Contacts application do appear
Tested on M4 Desktop with macOS 26 Tahoe
These are only 3 of about 125 persons, entities that do appear in my Contacts application
As requested and click >>
Oh - I see no way to understand contact size (or photo size). Does anyone know how to find this information?
Spotlight search in macOS Tahoe doesn’t show contact names
