After updating OS to Monterey, Spotlight doesn't work.

After updating OS to Monterey, as soon as I start typing in Spotlight, the window where the search is being made disappears. It later reappears, but the results are not what I want.No option of searching for the results in file names. Doing a Google search I looked for solutions, but nothing I have tried works. I tried to rebuild the Spotlight Index, but I can't tell if it was rebuilt. I have a MacPro (2013) and updated from Big Sur.

Not sure when you updated, but Spotlight usually reindexes after an update and can take some time. However, this article may help
