I have the same problem no applications are returned.

[Mark Kwong]

press cmd-space, type something, like "a", then at the bottom of results go to preferences.  Then go to privacy, click the +, then add Application folder to it.  Close preferences, wait around 30 seconds. Then go back and remove the Application from the privacy.

Applications was selected the index was corrupt. I downloaded The
Alfred search application. It used the correct switches fr mdutil to
recreate the index.

/Applications/Alfred.app/Contents/Resources/reindex.sh ; exit;
localhost:~ jwithrington$ /Applications/Alfred.app/Contents/Resources/
reindex.sh ; exit;
