SharePoint 2013 : Unable to search for a document/ file in search results


Sometimes, when we try to search for a file and we don't get a result. We thought that file is not available on the site or may be search crawl will take sometime to crawl it.

ISSUE:

File is uploaded and checked in into SharePoint even search crawl is idle. Still no search result.



CAUSE:


If you check crawl logs you can see that the file has been deleted by gatherer.


FIX:

1. Do an index reset.
2. Do a Full Crawl on local SharePoint site content source.

This help the file or content to get back in the index.

Hope it helps:)

Happy SharePointing :)
