Another completely strange occurrence, I now just updated a 2014 Macbook Air to Yosemite, and spotlight searches for Starbucks turns up everything, Bing, Wikipedia, map results, everything you would expect. The computer on which there were no results whatsoever was a 2012 Mac Mini. Very interesting.

I did the same as you entering “Starbucks” into my Entry field. The first result was your message, then I could arrow down through various other references to Starbucks that it found. Interestingly enough, I had more than a dozen references to Starbucks in various eMails and no others on my computer. Another interesting thing is that it did not display any Internet or Wikipedia results, which is likely false as I would venture to say that Starbucks should show up quite a bit around the Net. Probably some setting I need to manipulate.

I was able to verify that typing in the term Starbucks into Spotlight brought no results, and the message appeared visually on the screen as well: No results. All checkboxes are checked in all 21 categories in Spotlight preferences, disk permissions have been performed, and so on, so I’m really curious as to why some terms bring up absolutely no results. This does not appear to be an accessibility issue, just some kind of performance issue or quirk.
