Although brew linkapps symlinks apps to /Applications, these symlinked apps do not appear in Spotlight (cf. issues #22379, #8699, #4635 etc.) This is an alternative solution for users of homebrew, emacs and Spotlight - this script creates an app visible from Spotlight which calls emacs in your Cellar. Please install platypus via homebrew.
