TFS 2018 Code Search

Question

We have a new TFS 2018 installation and would like to use code search. When I install the code search extension I get the following message:

Search feature isn’t configured for your TFS instance. Configure Search through the TFS Configuration wizard and try again.

When I go to the Administration Console it says

Search is configured.

Is there a step that I am missing?

Answer 1

Please try below things to narrow down the issue:

• Check if you have installed the search service Elasticsearch 5.4.1 (elasticsearch-service-x64) and make sure the service is running.
• Restart the TFS Server
• Remove the feature Team Foundation Search Service, then configure the Search feature again.
