> and there is no longer any way to effectively prioritize the results I want (apps, not internet garbage)

OMG this one drives me bonkers. If anyone out there knows how to turn off internet results, please share!




Open Settings, scroll down to Spotlight. Unselect the things you don’t want.

You’re welcome :-)


Just noticed that I was sharing my entire Safari, Spotlight and Siri search history in that menu. Why is that setting in Spotlight settings and not under Privacy/Analytics?


Because spotlight indexing is local and not shared with Apple?


Like I pointed out elsewhere, it doesn’t stick for me.


I've found that kind of thing is often caused by a damaged preferences file. The easy way to check that is to make another user account, and see if it happens there too.


Thanks!
