Search Service Application stuck on Starting
Hi Guys, I was facing a very strange issue since two three days. I just wasted lot of my time while solving it. After experiencing SharePoint 2013 service architecture, I was under the impression that MS have modified SharePoint this time that one will never face any issue while configuring the service applications. But I was wrong, I am talking about the Search service application here. If you are lucky then it may be the case that you will not see this issue but I wasn't actually explored the reason behind the issue. Issue Description: “Unable to retrieve topology component health states. This may be because the admin component is not up and running.” The default content source “Local SharePoint Sites” is inconsistent. It doesn’t always appear after creation of Search, sometimes with start addresses of existing web apps listed already, other times not. Starting a full crawl results in stuck in ‘starting’.
