I got so annoyed at this recently I turned off spotlight entirely and replaced it with 3rd party software. I couldn’t be happier with my choice.

Check out Raycast / Alfred.

Yeah, Alfred is one of the first things I install on a new MacOS install.

Also enjoying Rectangles WM.

Alfred is wonderful for launching applications and custom actions, but it’s actually worse than Spotlight search for searching for files and folders. It finds a lot of results but inexplicably it likes to rank partial matches ahead of exact matches.
