Windows 10: No listed solutions fix Spotlight. How can I get it to work?

None of the solutions listed to fix Spotlight in Windows 11 work. I have tried everything recommended in the Microsoft Community. If the problem is related to my very effective ESET Internet Security software, is there a solution that enables Windows 11 Spotlight to bypass the security and anti-virus firewall software. I don't want to sacrifice security, but you would think Microsoft would be smart enough to be able to address this type of issue in its own operating system.
