This item could not be crawled because the crawler could not connect to the repository

                              

After I configured the Search service application and creation of content source, when I do a full crawl. I see the error below.

Issue: This item could not be crawled because the crawler could not connect to the repository.(searched=D0824DCB-4460-4D46-ABDC-85631CC07809)

Description: The issue could be of many reasons, I explained in detailed in other articles. The below could be one of the main reason.

Solution: Creation of Host Headers: If you’re using a multi server farm, having the below servers in farm.

1.   Server A  - Application server

2.   Server B – WFE

3.   Server C- Crawl server

We need to create the Host headers in All the WFE, Crawl servers to crawl the Content. Go to below path and create the headers. Refer below Article

http://expertsharepoint.blogspot.de/2013/10/path-for-host-file.html

 

In the Headers,

1.   For WFE servers- Need to put the Server IP of the local server

2.   For Crawl Server- Need to put the Server IP of the WFE server

If you have multiple WFE, Crawl servers. You need to choose one of WFE server IP and put the same IP in all WFE,crawl servers also.

Once Entry of host headers done, Crawl the content again and check for the results.

Check the Search under post categories, You definitely find the solution for your search issues.
