Spotlight not finding some applications (ex. Spotify)

Hello,


I have this issue since a couple of months now, it is not consistent, sometimes the issue disappears then comes back again.


It is the following:


I open the Spotlight search via the keyboard shortcut (in my case Option+Command+Space) and type Spotify and the search doesn't list the Spotify app in the results. It does list websites, etc but not the application (please see attachment).



Yes, I do have the app checkbox selected in the Spotlight settings and it works for other apps (like Safari)


Any idea, what can it be?


Cheers

Have you tried reindexing your hard drive for Spotlight?
