I have enabled the SharePoint search to search the content in SharePoint site, library or list. It was working fine up to few months.

But now it is not working. The continuous and full crawl is running fine. But when I am searching the items in the list or library, then it is not get work.

Searchable checkbox is already checked there.

Is there any idea what issues occurred there?

  • You could check if items are crawled. Go to Central Administration >Manage service applications > Search Service Application > Under Diagnostics click Crawl Log and URL View. Paste link to some list and check if items are crawled. If items are crawled then is problem in managed properties (Searchable, retrievable...)

  • what did you mean that it doesn't work? No results returned or show an error? What keyword did you use? Like Marko said, you first need to make sure the items are crawled.

  • Maybe high memory utilization is problem. If this is cause your people picker won't work either.
