Ventura 13.3.1. Mail search is not working.

Hello

Since upgrading to the latest patch I notice that my mail search is not working. I have tried to rebuild mailbox and rebuild spotlight.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks

Search in mail not working Since updating to Ventura 13.2.1, I've discovered that search no longer works in mail. In Spotlight, mails are also not found. I've tried restarting, re-building and even reinstalling Ventura. But nothing seems to work. Any ideas anyone?

Search feature in Mail stopped working since Ventura update Hello, the search feature in the Mail app has stopped working since I installed Ventura 13.2.1 Anyone got a fix? I've searched for other similar questions / replies and the responses seem to all be about Spotlight. This is not a Spotlight problem. I'm talking about the search feature in Mail only. Thanks.

search not working on Mail after Ventura update Hi there, If you are experiencing issues with search in Mail after the Ventura update, you may be able to fix the problem by quitting corespotlightd. Here's how: Open the Finder and go to Utilities. In Utilities, open Activity Monitor. In Activity Monitor, search for "corespotlightd". Once you have found "corespotlightd" in the list, select it and click the "X" icon to quit it. It's worth noting that quitting corespotlightd may have some negative side effects, such as making certain features that rely on Spotlight, such as search and file indexing, slower or less reliable. However, if you are experiencing issues with search in Mail, this may be a good place to start troubleshooting. Before trying this solution, it's important to note that you should have already tried other common troubleshooting steps, such as rebuilding the mailbox, checking spotlight, and even reinstalling the operating system. If you have already done these things and are still experiencing issues with search in Mail, then quitting corespotlightd may be worth a try. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions. Best regards,

I would rebuild the Spotlight search index...Mail is dependent on this system wide index.

Rebuild the Spotlight index on your Mac - Apple Support

For best results use the drag & drop Macintosh HD method

Same here after updating to 13.3.1 on MacBook Air M1

The spotlight app does not respond. No search bar is shown.

I tried to rebuild the index as instructed here, and of course, to reboot the laptop.

Any idea?
