Trouble with the spotlight after updating to Catalina 10.15.3

Hi,

there is something wrong with the spotlight after I updated my 16-in Macbook Pro to Catalina 10.15.3 yesterday.

Apps and webpages searching shows up immediately, but when it comes to folders and files the searching needs at least 1 min and a crazy CPU load!

I have tested all of the advice I could find on google like re-indexing, restarting........ but none works for me.

Is anyone struggling with the same problem?

MacBook Pro 16", macOS 10.15

You can see when you do a spotlight search if index is in progress—this will slow thing s down.

If no resolve, try re-installing the combo update o top of your existing 10.15.3
