After the latest OS X update to 10.10.2, Spotlight built-in calculator stopped working. I tried to disable/enable it in settings and reboot, but nothing helped.
Am I the only one who is fighting this? Any ideas?

I was having the same problem as you do and I notice that the problem was that I have conversion disabled on System Preferentes
So I went to System Preferences > Spotlight, enabled it and it solved my problem.

This also works for High Sierra. – 7heViking – 2018-06-14T08:50:30.417
Have you tried this command in terminal?
