Problem with Spotlight search criteria - ITS MISSING!
Here is a screenshot of the typical spotlight window on a 10.5.2 machine (Intel Mac Pro):
Here is a screenshot of the same window after I click the '+' sign to add an additional search criteria value:
In the second screenshot, that extra blank space at the bottom is where is supposed to say Name: or Kind: etc...but its just not there and I have no idea why??
I have tried creating a new user account on my machine to see if the same issue occurred their as well, and sure enough, it does not.
I have tried all sorts of maintenance and repair tactics to resolve the issue (such as repairing permissions, running DIsk Warrior, Cocktail, Onyx, Leopard Cache Cleaner, etc...) but nothing seems to resolve the issue??
Anyone have any thoughts as to what the issue might be, and how I can go about fixing it?
FYI - In case any does know of any third-party apps that might cause this issue, below are a few screenshots showing some of the apps, system preferences, and processes running on my machine:

Anyone have any idea what this means?
Low and behold, I tried it and it worked!! The issue is not an issue anymore!
