Sharepoint 2016 no search 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...
Thanks for your help.
1. No errors just no results.
2. no search ever returns anything.
3. on the front end server the Event log shows some information issues with trying to install a language proof with error = 0
"Windows Installer reconfigured the product. Product Name: Microsoft Server Proof (Arabic) 2016. Product Version: 16.0.4351.1000. Product Language: 1025. Manufacturer: Microsoft Corporation. Reconfiguration success or error status: 0."
then a followed by warning saying failed to connect to server
4. The ULS logs are over my head. I downloaded the ULSviewer and it crashed after starting to load the info. I viewed the files with notepad but I'm not sure which file and what I'm looking for.
5. How do I know what result source I'm searching against?
6. no query rules
7. 1 search service app and no proxy. do I need a proxy?
can I kill all search and reconfigure? delete my content source and recreate?

paulpascha I deleted and re-created the search service, and that seemed to resolve the issue.
I still don't have a proxy. I thought that was only used for search other content outside of my local sites.
thanks for hanging with me.
