Just upgraded to Tahoe and immediately noticed that the launchpad can't find the applications that are there (i can find them by just scrolling through). First i thought there were some apps that were deleted because they were no longer compatible, but it turns out they are there. It couldn't even find numbers and keynote until i found them manually and launched them. VERY VERY disappointing. Honestly it seems that Apple is turning into microsoft i ran from all these years ago.

To be proactive you can file a bug report / submit your Apple Feedback here: Product Feedback - Apple

with any luck the next point update release will address this issue.

Spotlight is buggy. You’re not alone, see this recent thread among others.
