Cause: Search is not able to connect is because of many reasons, In this article I am providing all possible causes and the solutions.

Resolutions:
Solution 1: In the end it turns out to be that the application pool that hosts the search service application somehow doesn’t have the correct access.
You can simply change the application pool to use SharePoint Web Services System for search service applications and check.

  3. Right click GUID go to advance settings

  4. Change the application to “SharePoint Web Services” > Click OK
    0098
