I have OneDrive 23.007.0109.0004 (Standalone) (Apple silicon) installed on an M1 MacBook Pro and I frequently have trouble with Spotlight search of OneDrive. I can fix the broken searches by rebuilding the indexes, but even after rebuilding I find that the documents cannot be opened by clicking on them in the Spotlight search results; nothing happens!
