Why is Spotlight contacting Yahoo i.e. Oath?

A very creepy thing is happening. Every time I turn on Wifi, I see a connection by Catalina's Spotlight to Yahoo's Oath service: Spotlight 49345 me 17u IPv4 0x93dfe36e77e7a7ae 0t0 TCP 192.168.1.9:50976->67.195.228.57:https (ESTABLISHED) You can get a list of all connections in Terminal by typing: lsof +c 15 -n -i4TCP Does anyone know why Spotlight feels it needs to contact Yahoo, which is a company I don't want to have anything to do with?
