I don't know what happened, but as of a few weeks ago, when I brought up Spotlight and entered "disk" in the search box, it brought up the disk utility app, which is what I wanted. Now, it brings up definitions and other useless suggestions. I customized Spotlight search results to include only applications, but Spotlight still brings up useless suggestions. I've also tried rebuilding the Spotlight index, to no avail. Is Spotlight search not working because I missed a setting somewhere? Also, in the Spotlight search categories, I see no option for utilities. How do I also get Spotlight to search utilities (or is that part of applications)? Thanks.
