Ventura disabled Spotlight Search

I have a 16" MacBook Pro with the M1 processor. I just upgraded to Ventura and noticed that Spotlight Search no longer functions. If I click on the Spotlight icon (magnifying glass) in my menu bar, nothing happens. If I press Command+Space, again, nothing happens. Anyone else having this problem?

Have you shut down and restarted more than once since your upgrade...?


Can you verify your software is up to date…

The current stable release of Ventura including bug fixes, security updates is macOS Ventura 13.1
