Hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I recently installed SharePoint 2013 on a new Windows Server 2008 VM with sql 2012 and 10GB memory.
I'm having issues getting search to work and have looked at various online articales regarding re-creating the search application and looking to see if the URL in the crawling menu is correct.
The issue I'm facing is after searching I get presented with the generic error "Search has encountered a problem that prevents results from being returned. If the issue persists, please contact your administrator."
I have done a full crawl and rebuilt our enviroment to try get rid of this issue. A full crawl for a small site is taking around 21 hours. however it's showing 357 searchable items.
Let me know if you need any more details.
Thanks.
