While I was playing around with the MacOS search bar (because I had complained about it in the other thread), I just found out that there is a row of icons that let you filter what you are searching for.

But these icons only show up if you wiggle the mouse. If you don't move the mouse, these icons never show up.

This is a keyboard navigation feature. I have never freaking seen those icons before! I've been using a Mac for ten years now, and not once have I moved the mouse when the search box is open. You use a keyboard shortcut to bring up the search box, and then you... just type something! That's the whole point! Why would they hide that until you move the mouse?!

I’ve not installed Tahoe because I’ve heard people still have issues with it. Sounds like they fucked spotlight too. You could try Alfred!
