Search Crawling is not working....

Question

In my enterprise search center the crawling is failing.It is giving all errors and no success,may be the access i getting denied.What can be done to resolve the problem?

Answer 1

Hi,

Make sure the account you are using to crawl the content have full read access to the content.

Go to Manage web application->select the webapplication-> from the ribbion select user policy-> add the user which is used to crawl the content with full read access.

To find the account that is used for crawling->< go to manage service application-> select the search service application->check what is the default access account.

Thank u so much....

I got the required output.But want to ask you something.I have changed the target page as peopleresult.aspx then for all the search it used to search from peopleresults.aspx and not from results.aspx..So I again changed it to results.aspx and then it is now searching for people from peopleresults.aspx and for rest of the site it is searching from results.aspx.The output is perfect but i just want to know where i was going wrong?and How is it working?can you tell me the logic behind this?

Answer 11

Hi,

Usually search center will have two tabs one for searching the content and another one for searching the people.

If you have not created the tab.Please refer the following link.

The results all depends on the result page in which it is getting displayed.The peopleresults.aspx have different webpart and the results.apsx have differnt webpart.
