Spotlight hangs when I look up anything.

$ mdfind cloud

$ touch fred

$ mdfind -name fred

I don't have any external drives connected.

Spotlight just hangs with 'loading' and the waiting wheel.

Any ideas of what could be going wrong?

The current stable release of Ventura including bug fixes, security updates is macOS Ventura 13.2 I would start there and compare your results.
