Vero,
Below is the output. I had another look at my settings. One thing that changed things was if I turn on the 'Search all file types' in the Default Results settings. With that option set, I can now find my applications. The icons for the Apps found are generic application icons. Even though I shouldn't need that setting on, its a better workaround.
Regards,
/Applications/Google Chrome.app
