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?
yes I can open a list, look at an item, try to search for an item that I see, and it can't find it.
