I have a SharePoint 2013 Foundation on a Windows Server 2012 R2 and when I use search box in a site collection to search an document then nothing is returned, even though that document exists in the site collection.

I have the default Search Service Application created after the SharePoint installation.

In the Central Administration, when I go to Content Sources, there is no error when I do a Full crawl. I wait for few more minutes but nothing is found.

In the crawl log, columns named Successes, Errors, etc., each one are 0.

I don’t know why nothing is found. The user I use to crawl is sp-admin and it has rights to read everything (or that’s what I think).

The URL I have set up to crawl is the URL of the Web Application (let’s say: http://sharepoint), in order to crawl every site collection.

I have no idea why this is happening. I know that this feature is available in 2013 Foundation but I don’t know why it doesn’t work for me. I have googled but I don’t find anything about this.

  • First of all, what should I check in order to know that I have everything correct set up?
  • Second, if I have everything “correct”, how and where can I see what is error or failing?

Thank you!

    Whats the crawl account you are using? Make sure it has read access to the web app and also try browsing your site with that account , just to ensure the permissions are properly setup

  • @GauravVijh The crawl account I'm using is an administrator account called "sp-admin". I have already given it read access to web app, logged in as "sp-admin" in Administration, start full crawling, but nothing found :/. Please, if you need some screenshot just ask me. I still don't get why it doesn't work.

  • what authentication you are using in default zone? check the event log and ULS logs for more clue? make sure Search related services are running.
