Hi, Spotlight appears to work as it should for me as well. Initially, the default for the Search location appeared to be in the folder location that I was in, so, it wasn’t finding what I wanted it to find. Once I changed it to “this Mac”, the search results populated fine. I was able to narrow the results easily by changing the “Kind” to Application or Document producing a more manageable number of results. I must not have used Spotlight in the same manner as those who are finding it frustrating as I’ve found it not particularly different than previous versions, so far.
