Use [email protected] instead of domain\user when specify the Default Content Access Account.

If the issue exists, go to the relevant server->Start->Run->services.msc->check if the “SharePoint Server Search 15” and “SharePoint Search Host Controller” features are running.

  • Does your crawl account have read access to the content?
