Hi Ken, I have tried restarting the service from the services.msc snap-in on all boxes (and confirmed that this did actually remove the "mssearch.exe" process), and have also tried restarting the timer service on all boxes, but this did not help Cheers, Nigel

Ken From: nigel_wither...@hotmail.com To: ozmoss@ozmoss.com Subject: Search Crawl stuck in Stopping State Date: Thu, 4 Aug 2011 01:11:52 +0000 Hi All, At a customer site where the environment is SP 2010 using Enterprise search, the crawl of the “Local SharePoint site” content source is stuck in a state of “Stopping”. Have attempted to force the crawl to stop by using the PowerShell commands: $searchapp = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication "Search Service Application" $contentsource = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchCrawlContentSource "Local SharePoint Sites" -SearchApplication $searchapp $contentsource.StopCrawl() However this does not appear to have any affect. Also tried the STSADM command: Stsadm –o osearch –action stop But this gives the response: 'stop' action failed. Additional information: Invalid search service unprovisioning: application 'Search Service Application' still has a ready component '82c100d7-f0f0-4732-b5a6-aef8a7902756-crawl-1' on server 'SVMSP0000005PR'. Not sure what is the best way to progress – need to stop the crawl so I can reconfigure the content source, reset the index and then recrawl the corpus. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
