I've been trying to fix this issue for months to no avail. My spotlight just doesn't work anymore- it can't open apps, files, etc. I've tried reindexing, unchecking all of the search result boxes and restarting, everything. It simply doesn't work for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
MacBook Air 15″, macOS 15.3

Reinstalling the macOS:
Nothing would be lost. It's just that misplaced items would be placed back to where they should be and corrupt system files would be replaced by clean files. Go Here: Reinstall macOS - Apple Support. Use the third bulleted method: [command + r]. Important: Prior to installing an update or performing a reinstallation, to prevent data loss, be sure to Back up your Mac with Time Machine.
have you updated the device to latest software ??
Have you done OS reinstallation and checked is the issue solved.
