Catalina (10.15.5) Spotlight calculator CPU spike? I noticed that I would have insane CPU spikes (400%+) whenever I type in a math equation (even something simple like 1+2) into spotlight. The task that spikes is called mds_stores. Does anyone know if this is just an issue with my system/is there some sort of software fix coming?

I have this issue too, on two Macs. As a workaround I've had to kill mds_stores and launch an app, the App Store or something to have the CPU return to idle.
Here is the bug in action:

I've reported to Apple FWIW.
