My search stopped automatically crawling on Feb 28. I can still start it manually and it works but it doesn't work automatically.

When I went to Central Administration, I saw the following error: enter image description here

Databases require upgrade or not supported.
Severity 1 - Error
Category Configuration
Explanation The following databases require upgrade because their versions are older than the backwards compatible range:
WSS_Search_PLSPF.

Remedy Use Upgrade-SPContentDatabase to upgrade Content databases, or psconfig.exe to upgrade other databases. If some databases are too new, check the Patch Status page to find out if the current server are missing SharePoint software patches. For more information about this rule, see "http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=142697".
Failing Servers
Failing Services SPTimerService (SPTimerV4)

I have almost no knowledge in SP administration and have no idea how to solve this or why this happened. If anyone knows how to fix this please help

Try running the SharePoint Configuration Wizard on your farm from one of the servers, it should apply any pending upgrades that are needed to the databases used by the environment.
