Hi, zakk.
1. Do not move Apple-provided applications from their locations in either the Applications folder or the Applications > Utilities folder. You may have problems with future Software Updates if you relocate these applications.
2. Download a copy of
EasyFind to see if it can find the application. There are only certain locations where Spotlight will search: see
"Mac OS X 10.4: Where does Spotlight search?".
3. As noted, the "go back" feature you mentioned — restoring the system to a previous point — is not part of Mac OS X. You should implement a comprehensive Backup and Recovery solution. For advice on the backup and recovery solution I employ, see my
"Backup and Recovery" FAQ.
Good luck!
