This sounds like more than a permissions issue, but it is a good 
place to start.  You can run the permissions repair from Terminal. 
Enter this command:

diskutil repairPermissions /

keep repeating that until it doesn't repair anything.  Then restart 
the computer.  It fixes many things.  If his Disk Utility app has 
"disappeared" there may be other things amiss that repairing 
permissions won't help at all.  However, after repairing permissions 
you may find searching works better, as finder may be skipping 
directories it doesn't have "permission" to search.  Also, if he has 
multiple users on the boxen, another user may have put the app in one 
of their folders that is not allowed access by Find or anything else.
