Sharepoint 2016 no search results.
I have used sharegate desktop to move all sites lists and libraries from a SharePoint 2010 site to a new 2016 installation. I believed that search initially worked but then at some point stopped returning results. I can never get any results. I have followed all the instructions I have found. I have a weekly full crawl running. It does find quite a few errors that I have yet to resolve. I have seen items in the crawl logs that a specific item in a list was successfully crawled but still I get no results searching for an part of any column in that list. I have re-indexed, re-full crawled, the site is set to return results, the list is set to return results, ... I and searching a site administrator. Any more suggestions. My crawl says it have nearly 300,000 successes . I tried searching for *. Never any results
mikjac21549 no proxy? A proxy should exist. You could try creating one using PowerShell
Alternatively, if you haven't configured your search service application a lot or you know exactly what you did you could as well recreate your search service application too. I wonder what way you provisioned your search service application. If you create one using Central Administration the proxy should be automatically created. If you used PowerShell you probably missed some steps...
mikjac21549are you sure the account you're performing your searches with (still) has permissions to the content that was crawled successfully?
I am not completely sure which account is performing the searching. How do I find that? How do I check it's permissions. There is a lot more that i don't know than what I do know about all this.
Thank you so much for your response
mikjac21549that account is just the account you're logged in with. In other words, are you able to browse to the content you're searching for?
