The Search request was unable to connect to search service

The Search request was unable to connect to search service

While we try for the search in the site, it comes with the below error,

   sorry something went wrong
   The Search request was unable to connect to search service                    
                        

Solution: The issue is due to the web site that we are searching is not connected with the Search service application. To connect the site with the search application, Follow the below steps.

·        Go to central administration->Application management->manage web applications
·        Select web application which you need search
                 

·        Click on Service connections on Ribbon
·        Check the Search service application is in connection with the website.                 
·        If not then connect the search service application with the website, to do this, check the box of search service application and Ok.                
           
·        Once done, you were able to connect the search service to web site. 

Note: If two sites are created with the Enterprise search template in same farm, This error should occur.

If search service is in stopped state also, this issue could occur

SharePoint default page not loading by default.aspx

SharePoint default page not loading by default.aspx

I find that I can't browse SharePoint 80 or SharePoint Central Administration v4 or any sites using the default URL (http://webserver/). I’m trying to do this locally from the actual server SharePoint is running on. It gives a HTTP 404 'Webpage cannot be found' error in IE. If I want to view either of these, I have to specifically type default.aspx manually:


http://webserver/default.aspx to view the SharePoint 80 site
http://webserver:port/default.aspx to view central admin.
 
                       
It is the same when using local host instead of web server. I again will have to enter default.aspx to come the pages up.
Here are some things I've tried already but had no luck:
Added http://webserver and other relevant names in Alternate Access Mappings
Ensured Default.aspx is top of the list in 'Default Documents' in IIS7
Checked the hosts file
Set DisableloopbackCheck in registry and restarted.

Solution: I resolve the issue once I run the products and technologies wizard. Once the wizard is successful, All the sites including central admin came up by default without manually typing the default.aspx.

Export-SPWeb -Identity <SiteURL> -Path <Path and File Name> [-ItemUrl <URL of Site, List, or Library>] [-IncludeUserSecurity] [-IncludeVersions] [-NoFileCompression] [-GradualDelete] [-Verbose]

<URL of Site, List, or Library> is the URL for the site, list, or library where you are exporting.


To export a site, list, or document library by using Central Administration

1.   Verify that the user account that is performing this procedure is a member of the Farm Administrators group.

2.   Start SharePoint 2013 Central Administration.
For Windows Server 2008 R2:

5.   On the Site or List Export page, in the Site Collection section, select the site collection from the Site Collection list, and then select the site from the Site list.

6.   If you are exporting a site, skip this step, Select the list or document library from the List list.

7.   In the File Location section, in the Filename box, type the UNC path of the shared folder and the file to which you want to export the list or document library. The file name must use the .cmp extension.

8.   If the file already exists and you want to use this file, select the Overwrite existing files check box. Otherwise, specify a different file name.

9.   If you want to export all the security and permissions settings with the list or library, in the Export Full Security section, select the Export full security check box.

10.               If you want to specify which version of the list or library to export, select one of the following versions from the Export versions list:
·        All Versions
·        Last Major
·        Current Version
·        Last Major and Last Minor

11.               When you have specified the settings that you want, click Start Export.

You can view the status of the current backup job in theContent Export section of the page. The status page updates every 30 seconds automatically. You can manually update the status details by clicking Refresh. Backup and recovery are Timer service jobs. Therefore, it may take several seconds for the backup to start.
