Full Crawl never stops (the crawl is getting stuck) in SharePoint 2013
Question
I am facing a problem that Full Crawl never stops (the crawl is getting stuck) in SharePoint 2013. I have stopped the crawl and started it again still taking more tine than usual. It usually completes in 6 Hrs but it took more than 100 hrs and still running.
In ULS logs i can see the below error. Can any one help on how to resolve this issue?
Filter daemon process ( 0000000000028EE0 ) is dead. TerminateProcess... [fltrpool.cxx:1417] search\native\gather\gthrsvc\fltrpool.cxx
Solution
Try to restart following service in services.msc:
Restart SharePoint Server search 15
Restart SharePoint Timer Service
If the issue still exists, delete the existing SSA and recreate the search service application to check if crawl works well.
