Spotlight crashing on `1` and only `1`
If you don't get the crash on a fresh user account, you might want to force the system to rebuild the Spotlight index:

From the Apple menu, go to System Preferences
In System Preferences, select Spotlight, and chose the Privacy tab on the Spotlight screen
Click the &quot;+&quot; icon at the bottom of the screen and add a folder (any folder) to the list of folders excluded from spotlight
Once you've added the folder to the list of folders excluded from Spotlight, select that folder from the list
Click the &quot;-&quot; icon to remove the folder from the list of excluded folders.
From the System Preferences menu, select Quit.

The change to the excluded folders list should start the (long) process of rebuilding the Spotlight index. I can't promise that this will fix your problem, but it has a good shot at it.
