   Re-index Macintosh HD.

   Spotlight reindexing will take a while to finish.
   System Preferences > Spotlight > Privacy

   http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2409

Note:
If you don’t have Macintosh HD icon shown on the desktop,
Finder > Preferences > General > Show these items on the desktop:
Enable “Hard disks”.

System Preferences > Spotlight > Privacy
Drag the Macintosh HD into the Privacy pane of the Spotlight window.

When you add Macintosh HD to the Privacy pane of Spotlight,
you will see a dialog box.

   Click “OK”.

    Highlight “Macintosh HD” and click the minus “-“ button at the lower left of the pane.
