Q: Spotlight is not returning applications

Since I upgraded to El Capitan and installed Server on my 2009 iMac, Spotlight has not been returning applications. I have tried reindexing Spotlight and deleting the plist file to no effect. It will return results from other search categories but not applications. Any suggestions about what might be going on here? I use Spotlight to launch apps on my other macs and it's a pain it won't work on this one.

 

Thanks.

iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4), 27in late 2009, 8GB RAM.
