Step 1
If Search was functioning fine yesterday, but seems to have taken a crap on you today you might want to try these quick and easy fixes followed by some maintenance on Service Accounts and their Logins.
-
Step 2
Restart these services:
Indexing Service
Office SharePoint Server Search
Windows SharePoint Services Search
After this do a quick IISReset and test the search functionality.
Or heres a quick script to restart all of the services and perform an IISReset for you.
net stop "Indexing Service" && net start "Indexing Service"
net stop "Office SharePoint Server Search" && net start "Office SharePoint Server Search"
net stop "Windows SharePoint Services Search" && net start "Windows SharePoint Services Search"
iisreset \\servername /noforce
iisreset \\servername /status
pause -
Step 3
If this worked for you then you might want to check the Service Accounts that you have tied to these services. They stopped or quit working for a reason. Investigate your Search and Query Server's Event Viewer and see what happened.
