Mac Spotlight Text Input Not Working? Kill it.

Every few weeks the macOS Spotlight refuses to accept keyboard input. It happens infrequently enough that I always forget how to get it working again, but maybe writing about it will help me remember:

  • Open Activity Monitor
  • Search for Spotlight
  • Open the Spotlight entry
  • Select Quit
