Spotlight cannot find apps - so you can solve the problem
A restart often helps to fix problems with the computer. In the event of an error in the search, this measure is of no use. Instead, you need to temporarily turn off Spotlight.
- Open "System Settings" and select "Spotlight".
- In the next window, remove the checkmark next to "Programs" under the "Search results" tab.
- If you search via Spotlight now, no programs will be displayed. Place a checkmark in front of "Programs". The search then re-indexes the program folder.
- Then all programs should be found again.
You can not only start Spotlight using the magnifying glass icon. There is also a shortcut for Spotlight search.
