I am having Fast Search for SharePoint 2010 and everything was working fine till my system got rebooted unexpectedly.
After that i am not able to search anything & getting following messages.
“”The Search request was unable to connect to the search Service…””
All the basic checks are done
• Certificates are not expired
• Fast search services are running
• SharePoint services are running
• Service connection for web application is updated correctly
• Crawl happens without any issue
• Fast search UI shows search results
• Servers time zones are same
• No Error message in log files, Event viewer, Application log, ULS log
Tried the following steps
 Recreating service applications
 Re crawl the contents
 Recreating Proxy groups and service connections
 Restarting services and servers
 Checked certificate validity
 IIS reset
 Restart the servers
Last time same thing happend and we end up reinstalling & recofiguring everything on the SP FARM and Fast Search Farm.
