Sharepoint - The search request was unable to connect to the Search Service.

Follow the below methods:

Central Admin -> Service Applications ->Manage service applications make sure your search service application is running with a proxy just below it. If not, likely because you did a backup and the proxy requires a second backup, from the ribbon select New -> Search Service Application.

Once created successfully go to CA -> Web Applications -> Manage web applications. Highlight the sharepoint port 80 site and select Service Connections. Make sure your new proxy is selected.

Then under CA -> Application Mgmt -> Manage services on server select Sharepoint Server Search select the new service you setup and make sure the topology looks ok. Then schedule and start a new Full crawl. All set.

AND

Don't forget to add the pdf file type if you've set that up under the old search app before.
