Spotlight Local Reset

This might fix the Spotlight search if the usual rebuild doesn't work. This is often shown when search works in some accounts, but not others, on the same machine

Remove these files and folders from the local library...
Preferences > com.apple.spotlight.mdwrite.plist
Preferences > com.apple.spotlight.plist
Preferences > com.apple.spotlightknowledge.plist.
Caches > com.apple.spotlight
Application Support > com.apple.spotlight

Then rebuild the index with: sudo mdutil -E /
