I was having a problem getting
Windows Search to work on a Windows 2012 R2 server and didn't find much help
out in Google-land. Most results for Windows Search or Indexing Service
was for desktop OS's also.
Here was my scenario:
- I installed the Windows Search Feature on a Windows
2012 R2 server.
- In Control Panel -> Indexing Options, I added the
"Marketing" folder from a drive that is attached to the server,
plus a few other folders on a different drive.
- The "few others" seemed to work.
However, now on the Marketing folder, when you did a search,
all that would come up was "No items match your search."
- What's worse, you could no longer search the Marketing
folder at all, not even the slow non-indexed way. Everything would
turn up "No items match your search."
- Searching for help on the Internet was a bust.
I noticed Event ID 3036
in the Application log. There were some hits on that, but again not much
help on Google. The main thing that caught my attention in the log entry
though was "Crawl could not be completed on content source
<file:H:/Marketing/>." Then down lower in the details
it said "Access is denied". Ding-Ding!
I checked the security
on H: (a local hard drive) but that looked fine. However, when I looked
at the Marketing folder itself, the security was changed and inheritance was
taken away. This was so that Domain Users didn't have any sort of access
by default - only certain users have access to that folder. The issue was
that whoever setup the security (which might have been me) didn't put SYSTEM in
there with Full Control (or any rights at all in this case.) I added
SYSTEM in there with Full Control and applied; it took a while to propagate.
Within a few minutes of
that change I noticed (within the Indexing Options control panel applet) that
indexing was chugging again and the documents count was going up. When done, indexing was working – yeah!!
So since there wasn’t
any solution that I could find when searching the Internet, I figured I’d toss
it on where to perhaps help the next guy!
This was helpful too, so
I didn’t have to wait FOREVER for indexing to take place.
Make indexing run faster
(don't pause for user activity)
Regedit ->
Computer\HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search\UseLowPriorityConfiguration -
change to "0"
Well I found out how to fix it as I posted above, but I ended up turning it off. I had heard that Windows Search wasn't very good for a large set of files but wanted to try it first hand. Well I tried it, it sucked. When it worked, it worked good; but every other day or so all the server shares would be come inaccessible needing a server reboot to fix. Even the non-indexed shares. Not good for the main fileserver!! Disabled search service and the server is happy as a clam. Disappointing!!!
