Spotlight is a service I use regularly; yesterday my MacBook received the latest update to Sequoia 15.6, and the first thing I noticed was that pressing COMMAND+SPACE no longer displayed Spotlight. Are there other users having the same problem? Is there a way to fix it?

Great tip!
I noticed I no longer had the magnifying glass in the menu bar, but I probably removed it because I was using the keyboard shortcut.
I reactivated the magnifying glass in the menu bar, and clicking it didn't do anything.
Since I have two screens, I tried clicking the magnifying glass on both, and on one, I noticed something on the edge when I clicked... basically, SPOTLIGHT, for some reason, had moved almost completely off the screen and so I couldn't notice when it was activated.
Now I've dragged it back to the middle of the screen!
Thanks so much to you and everyone else for your help.

Hi, I'm glad to hear it wasn't just my problem; the new update caused some kind of issue with Spotlight! Luckily, it's easily fixable. Thanks.
Tried it, but then got the error:

You’re trying to remove Applications from being indexed?
Have you tried Onyx to reset the Spotlight index?
thank you, this fixed my issue!
