Spotlight search bar doesn't show up in middle of screen
Solution 1:
The Spotlight window remembers its last location. You can drag it back to the original location — it snaps to the X and Y coordinates of the initial position, so you can ensure it is back where it started.
If the Spotlight bar does not remember its last location, make sure ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Spotlight.plist
is writeable, as this plist file is where the coordinates are stored.
Solution 2:
Click and hold the Spotlight icon on the menu bar, until the Spotlight window has returned to its original location.
