Spotlight does not find apps
hi there,
somehow spotlight stopped displaying apps when i search for them. i tried to reindex in any conceivable way (preferences>spotlight, terminal), but not a single app is showing up. it seems the app folder is just not indexed, even if i tell spotlight to index just the applications folder. all kinds of other items show up when i search in spotlight, but no apps at all.
is there any way to completely reset spotlight, other than just deleting the index file and preferences?
thanks and All the best, Alexander.
