The crawl account should atleast have read permissions on the site. Check whether the Search service is started in services on server.

Hi.<br />
The Search service is started. &nbsp;I just restarted to make sure everything was OK. The Crawl account has read permissions on the site.<br />

I am not sure if you have search service application in foundation 2013. Could you please check in application management &gt;&nbsp;manage service application. If not there, click new and check if you can create service app.

Hi<br />
<br />
Search has stopped working &nbsp;on my SharePoint Foundation 2013 installation.<br />
The message in the logs is &quot;this item could not be crawled because the crawler could not connect to the repository&quot;.<br />
<br />
It looks like an obvious message, except that the crawl account does have permission to access the database.<br />
<br />
We have a front end SharePoint server and a backend SQL server.<br />
<br />
Any suggestions as to why this should have stopped gratefully appreciated.<br />
