Shareoint 2013 Search not working

Hi Everyone
Quite new to Sharepoint so not really sure where to start - hopefully someone can help !
When I try to search I get a the error message ("Oops something went wrong..")
Looking at the Search Service application I see "Could not connect to the search administration Web service on server SPDEV because the web server is not running." under Searchable Items.
Any suggestions for what I should be looking at ?
Thanks
Sara

Hi Roy
Thanks for your reply. Sorry but I'm very new to Sharepoint 2013 (only got it installed in dev environment a couple of weeks ago). Could you tell me where to check the URL for crawl please ?
Thanks again

HELP: SharePoint 2013 Search NOT working - unable to resolve

I'm a newbie still and don't understand how to read the log to solve this problem. I haven't been able to get search working since deployment.

Hi cagman,
Please make sure Search Host Controller Service, Search Query and Site Settings Service, SharePoint Server Search are started on manange services on server.
Then check the Search service application, and make sure search application topology is ok.
Then reset Index, and run a full crawl. After crawling, search again, compare the result.
In addition, here are some similar posts, please check if they are useful for you:

Outlook 2013 search not working with public folders

Hi everybody,
We have a problem that our Outlook 2013 clients cant search public folders. Any search we try returns empty results. We are running exchange 2013. Outlook is running in cached mode.
Thank you!

Hi
To solve the issues in Outlook 2013, please follow these steps: -
In order to have the Instant Search feature for Public Folders behave the same as for your mailbox, the following conditions must be meet: -
Outlook must be configured to cache
Public Folder Favorites.
(and of course the caching and indexing must have been completed)
The
Public Folder must be marked as a Public Folder Favorite.
The search must be performed from within the
Favorites section of your Public Folders tree and not from its actual location within
All Public Folders.
Thanks and regards
Ashish@V

Search not working on Task Description

Hi,
I am facing a strange scenario with search not working on Task Description for a particular task item. This task item has around 18 versions of itself within it.
I tried replicating the same scenario in our Test environment with following changes in the task item description:
1. Copied the task list over to Test environment.
2. Deleted all the versions of this task and put a single line description as.
3. Initiated full crawl and search results with task description were
coming up fine.
4. Made few more versions : 5 Versions and again initiated full craw. Search results are fine.
5. Made few more versions this time and again a FULL crawl, but now NO results with this task description.
So, my question here is that is there any limit by MS for multiline text limit or version limit which prevents the task description from coming up in search results.
This task description as multiple line text with links to other lists/libraries and user names who created the versions in this task item. We are not using FAST search.

I found the answer elsewhere on the forum:
Somehow the main drive was added to the privacy list in Spotlight. Search is working fine now that I've removed it.

Archive folder missing from Mail & search not working

I've been having trouble getting the Archive mailbox to appear in Mail. What's worse, often the search function is broken, and Mail doesn't turn up any search results. I've found some ways to get the Archive folder to reappear, but these only seem to help temporarily. For instance, clicking on the gear at the bottom left and selecting "Get Account Info" then selecting the Archive folder causes it to reappear, but this is only temporary and it disappears after another restart or sometimes after an hour or two. The search not working is the worst, as it sometimes is working and sometimes isn't. I don't have any idea what's causing this, but I am at my wit's end because I NEED Mail to be firing on all cylinders.

Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
What are your selections in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced for this Gmail account, if using IMAP, regarding keeping message for Offline use? The Mail search can only access the list of messages to search Subject, From, etc, but not the entire message unless copies of all messages are being kept on the computer. This would be true for any IMAP account, btw.
More info, please.

Mail search not working + Spotlight keeps indexing

I have an old problem that has resurfaced after creating a new user on my Mac. Mail search brings no results and Spotlight is constantly indexing - day in, day out. It never seems to get there. I tried turning my hard drive to private in Spotlight settings and then taking it out. Previously Spotlight seemed to get bogged down with external drives now it's stuck indexing my Mac.
Any advice? Is there a way I get unstick this?

I can't believe that Apple have STILL not sorted this out. I haven't created a new user (so it's nothing to do with that), but Mail.app won't find anything when searching "Entire Message" in the current Mailbox or in "All Mailboxes". This has been ongoing since Leopard was first released, and we are now up to 10.5.8 without this being fixed.

Knowledge Search not working in Win client

hi there
i have a problem with knowledge search not working in IC Win Client in CRM version 5.0
i guess the problem is with the workspace that is IIA for solution search that is assigned against the knowledge search
please tell what should i do as right now when i am trying to execute it or open the knowledge search dump is coming stating null object referenced
i wonder what could be the solution
best regards
ashish

Hello ashish,
I had that problem too. You have to apply note 1002299 to restore missing configurations in SAF.
Also, if you worked with IIA in previous versions, take a look at note 656321 to check it's evolution (replacement by SAF).
Good luck and Kind regards,
Bruno

search not working in itunes store 11.0.5.5

Fixed. Tried a lot different things but the ones that seems to have worked is going in Preferences>Advanced and hitting the Reset cache button. Though I'm not sure it is necessary it never hurts to do a restart.

Launchpad search not working mavericks

Search not working on mavericks under launchpad. Normally you can click into the search bar on launchpad, or just start typing to filter/find. Under mavericks I can no longer do this. The search bar is inert, does not respond to typing or clicking with mouse. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Just fixed the same problem by restarting the dock process which Launch Pad is apparently connected to.
Terminal command:
killall Dock

Contribution points display and search not working in Safari 5?

Hi all,
Are the contribution points display and SDN search not working for everyone else in Safari 5 or is it just me?
Chrome 5 and Firefox 3.6 (all on Mac OS X 10.6) seem to be working fine.
Thanks,
Ethan

The thread titles are no longer hyperlinked in the contributions overview and the quote chevron does not work either since yesterday.
Who was the beta tester and where are their test scripts?
A simple thread with a little bit of everything in it and a windiff against the before & after would detect these things?
Cheers,
Julius

Spotlight search not working on ios7

Spotlight search not working on iPhone 5 updated to ios7. I can access the search bar, but nothing happens when I enter a search term.

I'm having the same issue with an iPad 2 and iPhone 5. As mentioned by Nick if you reboot it seems to resolve the issue. Note that after a reboot it can take several seconds for spotlight search to return the first results. After this first slow response it seems to be quicker.
If it helps I have a few hundred apps and about 24K songs so the search has a lot to go through!

10.9.1 Mail spotlight search not working!!!!!

When you type in a search term in Mail, does it drop down a list of search criteria like People, Subjects, Mailboxes?
Or does it just offer "message contains"
