Cause

This issue occurs when the Search service application proxy is associated with a web application but is not associated with any Search service applications in the farm.

Resolution

To allow users to search without receiving this error message, re-associate the web application with a valid Search service application proxy. A valid Search service application proxy will be associated with a Search service application in the Manage service applications option. To do this, follow these steps:

  • Open Central Administration.
  • Click Manage web applications.
  • Select the affected web application.
  • On the ribbon, click Service Connections.
  • Under Configure Service Application Associations, select the valid Search service application proxy check box.
