I’ve encountered this annoying issue numerous times when I want to use spotlight to search something, do a quick calculation or find another app to launch while using any given app, after typing in the box, nothing shows up. No results. And then I am forced to go back to Home Screen before trying to use spotlight again. Yet even that doesn’t work sometimes. I can’t seem to find any specific reason why spotlight is disabled while I am using an app. This issue seems to be only affecting iPadOS. On iOS spotlight works fine.

Does anyone else also encounter this issue?
