Ever since the first iOS 14 beta, my Spotlight search results have been missing. This continues with beta 8.

When I search I get suggested websites, Siri knowledge, and dictionary, but no app name results, and no data results (ie I can't search my email or contacts).

I've tried a clean install to no avail.

Any ideas on how to get spotlight reindexed or rebooted?

I keep having this issue every time my phone updates ever since ISO 14.

To fix the issue Go to Settings, select General and select Reset All Settings.
It will not delete any information but will clear all usernames & passwords that automatically pop up on websites. But it doesn’t delete the usernames and passwords Saved to the phone.

In settings I have also turned my automatic ISO Updates off until they fix this problem because it’s quite frustrating to have to reset all settings every time my phone updates.

I hope this helps

Same issue here for me with 14.6. This is very annoying.

I have iOS 15 beta 4 and I have the same issue. Someone has found some solutions?

The solution, while not optimal, is it turn off Passcode/FaceID. That’s what is breaking the Siri suggestions. When you have no passcode, the issue cannot be replicated and suggestions are working as intended.

And… on iOS 16 too. Thanks, Apple!

Same issue, finally fixed it for me. Siri & Search in Settings Scroll down to apps, select Show app in search and Show content in search. Most of my apps were on, but some got turned off somehow. Hope that helps!

Just upgraded to iOS 16.2 yesterday, and all of a sudden this happens to my phone. Did “reset all settings” and force restart and other ways mentioned, none is working.
