I have used google search as a convenient methode to locate and start applications installed on my Samsung Galaxy S2. After I upgraded to 4.0.3 this no longer seem to work. I have installed apps ticked in settings, but the search only give me local contacts and webpages, not apps.

Is this a known bug? Is there any way to fix this? Is there any other convenient app for easy locating and launching installed apps without having to manually search the pages with icons of all installed apps?

Do you have apps selected in Searchable Items in settings?
