Missing applications after Catalina

It is still on my Mac with Catalina. I can access it from Spotlight Search. Also, just in case you haven't already tried the following, see below from Open or quit Terminal on Mac - Apple Support

Open Terminal

On your Mac, do one of the following:

• Click the Launchpad icon in the Dock, type Terminal in the search field, then click Terminal.
• In the Finder , open the /Applications/Utilities folder, then double-click Terminal.

Thank you, yes, Terminal is there in Utilities, but why should I have to walk to it when I have these advanced Finder and Spotlight search tools? So, now the issue is, why it didn't not come up in a finder search as well as pull a no-show in Spotlight. It should show up there. I have not changed any settings for either of those since the upgrade. Catalina also took out my email which I was able to recover but in a very raw state...

You can easily rebuild the Spotlight Search index

You do not make it clear what you updgraded from —I do see <iMac, OS X 10.11> in your byline—

I can say it never pays to get too far behind in the software or hardware, it only makes the upgrade process more suspect to shock & awe, and more importantly harder for seamless application transition without issue.

and to add— I keep Terminal on the Finder tool bar for easy access. You can drag and drop just about anything onto the Finder.

Nice.

I must admit— I always have Terminal running. 100% on my main Desktop😉 Only in in the odd situation were the macOS closes it on me do I need to relaunch it.

On my main work screen it is stacked into the work flow...

Look in the Applications/Utilities folder.

Terminal has always had permanent residence on my Dock, and certainly did not disappear with Catalina, or its updates through 10.15.4.

When Catalina is installed the first time Photos is added to the Dock. Sometimes a new Dock preference pane is crafted losing some apps that used to be on it. Not often but it does happen.
