It sounds as though your spotlight indexes are corrupt.

Here's a good site for fixing problems like that:

this worked great... or seems to be in the process of doing so.
Inside the SPOTLIGHT preferences I 'prevented' all the attached and internal drives, then undid that. It is now indexing, the SPOTLIGHT icon is active, and when I click on that icon it indeed tells me it's doing its job. My FINDER results for searching for certain files has been Hugely Slow and flakey. Now I think I know why.

Thanks for this.
