Sharepoint 2010 Foundation Search - not working now
I have a SharePoint 2010 Foundation system (multiple sites). The search stopped working. I believe it was after I had to change my network administrator password. Once I changed the password (I think) is when this stopped. I keep getting the error:
The search request was unable to connect to the Search Service.

1) I open Powershell and entered the line: Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServ iceApplica tion
I get error that it is not recognized.
2) Went to services and INDEXING SERVICE is not on list. Nothing starts with INDEX on the list
I get error that it is not recognized.

So as I stated, if it isn't there you need to create it.

Powershell already installed.
I have attempted to run:
Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServ iceApplica tion
from both SharePoint Management Shell AND Windows Powershell and I still get same error.
The term 'Get-SPEnterpriseSearchSer viceApplic ation' is not a recognized name of a cdmlet, function, or operable program.
NOTE: The search used to work great. It worked for months and months until the day I changed our Domain Administrator password.

I found the answer searching Google.
If the search service exists, check the available disk space on the query server (corresponding TechNet article).
You can also verify that the index service is running via Computer Management\Services, it is named Indexing Service.
