In Full Screen mode with a Mac OS host machine, it's not possible to open the spotlight search.

When in full screen view, and I move the cursor to the top of the window, I can't open spotlight but can open other things such as the clock and any other shortcut icons I
have open in the menu bar. Neither method works to get into the spotlight search bar \[clicking on the icon or Command-Space\]. I tried using the Control-Command option to 'exit' out of the VMWare window and return to the Mac side and I still can't open spotlight via clicking on the icon or using Command-Space. If I switch to a
different window it works again. It doesn't necessarily need to be a VMWare window as shown \[I can use expose to switch windows or use a window on my external monitor and it'll work\]. The problem only occurs in full screen
view. |

If you have over-allocated your disk (told VM ware to make images that, if they all grew to their full size would take up more disk space than you have free) VMware may pop up an alert warning you when you're about to use up more space than you have. That would give you a chance to free up disk space or exit cleanly. We don't recommend you over-allocate your disk space. There's no guarantee of a warning before bad things happen. It could end poorly in data loss or corruption.
