Event ID 2436 Windows SharePoint Services - cannont search within sharepoint
This is driving me absolutely bonkers right now. There error propped up after i ran some windows updates and I'm guessing whatever one it was changed some security settings. Either way I get the below event error every 5 min and am unable to search within Sharepoint. I've tried multiple solutions that I've found online and EE but non seem to work.

OMG....I think that might have done it!!! Did what you said and rebooted. Those events aren't coming back every 5 min anymore and it is pulling back searches now!! I'll keep an eye on the event viewer and I have a few users testing the search app but I think this is working.
Thanks for the help!!! I almost started Steven Segal'ing the server.

Problem is I can't even get passed step 2 as the "Search Settings and Indexed Content" option isn't listed within my site settings. I've attached an image to my site settings. This error is driving me nuts and I'm about to light something on fire.
