Has anyone encountered this issue? If you click on the magnifying glass nothing happens. If you use CMD and Spacebar nothing happens. Spotlight is gone since this update. And I have already tried the privacy suggestion of adding and removing the hard disk.
iMac 27″, macOS 11.2
Boot into Safe Mode by booting with the Shift key held down and check there to see if the problem persists. Reboot normally and test again.
NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take up to 10 minutes as it's doing the following;
• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed
• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)
• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically
• Disables user-installed fonts
• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files

Was able to get the popup to appear at very top of screen in safe mode which led me to believe I just was not seeing it on one of my screens. Dragged it to middle of screen and restarted and that worked. Thanks!!
Spotlight does not open since update to 11.2.3
