If Spotlight’s acting funky, re-indexing will get it up on the right side of the bed.

Spotlight search results not appearing as they should? Force Spotlight to re-index itself with the following two commands:

sudo mdutil -E /

sudo mdutil -i on /


You’ll be prompted for your administrator password. Then, after a few minutes’ delay, Spotlight will begin re-indexing your Mac.
