Question, when I search using spotlight It does not show any applications. I am the administrator on the computer. I have all the box's checked in spotlight preferences.
Any help would be great. Thanx

I experience the same thing. No apps appear in Spotlight results even though Apps are enabled and at the top of the search order.
There aren't any checkmarks in the privacy tab, so if anything is listed, then it's not being searched.
I use Onyx, cleans out the caches, repairs permissions, and rebuilds the Spotlight index if you configure it to.
Try deleting the Spotlight prefs file.
Your Username/Library/Preferences/
com.apple.spotlight.plist
You'd be amazed at what deleting a preference file can fix
