Cause: Search is not able to connect is because of name reasons, in this article I am explaining various the solution of this issue.

Solutions: Please find the below solutions, That one of it can resolve the issue.

Solution 1:

In the end it turns out to be that the application pool that hosts the search service application somehow doesn’t have the correct access.
You can simply change the application pool to use SharePoint Web Services System for search service applications and check.
1. Click on Start > Run > Type Inetmgr > Click OK

0094

0096

3. Now check all the GUID 1 by 1 in content view unless you find searchadmin.svc and searchservice.svc

0095

4. Right click GUID go to advance settings

0097

5. Change the application to "SharePoint Web Services" > Click OK
0098

Solution 2: Enable the timer job and do IIS reset

1. Run below PS command to know the status of timer job
Get-SPTimerJob job-application-server-admin-service

    Enable-SPTimerJob job-application-server-admin-service
    Result ==> IsDisabled: False

  2. Do Net Stop sptimerv4

  4. DO iisreset


Solution 3:Ensure the account has full control permissions on the Search service application and IIS account used by this service application
Follow below steps
