I have SP2013 foundation version. I am trying to create a result source but when I click on "Launch Query Builder", I am getting the following error :

"Not able to connect to search service to retrieve valid settings" when launching Query Builder in Central Administration

I have tried the following:

  • Give Administrator rights for the Search Service Application to the corresponding user (in Central Administration GUI or over PowersShell Commands)
  • Check if the Search Service Application is associated as a service connection to the Central Administration web application.

  • Can you check if the user which is trying to launch Query builder is Admin of Search Service Application?

  • I found in my case it was because I had two search service applications, deleted one and the query builder began working.
