Hi, When you toggle out of Spotlight with Command-space it will also no longer display the text that VoiceOver has just read, which is what I believe you asked for. The only other way to clear this and still have Spotlight active is to delete your search terms (e.g. select all with Command-a, then press delete while in the Spotlight search field).
