Hello,
Is there a way to enable previews in Spotlight, like in Catalina and Mojave?

I used this function a lot and it was great to quickly glance at which file you wanted to open or to just get some quick at a glance information but in Big Sur it's gone and Spotlight is not rather useless.

Hope this is a bug or that it's a setting that I have not been able to find.

Anyone else experience this?
 
Hi,
When you type something in Spotlight, just press "tab"
to show the preview.

You need to do this every time you open Spotlight.

Perhaps Apple wants to make the UI simpler so they are hiding it.
