Debugging Exchange Search / Content Indexing Errors

We should firstly check the content indexing status of the mailbox databases:

Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus

We can issue the Test-ExchangeSearch command to test a number of functionalities of the Exchange Search.

To test search indexing in a user mailbox we issue:

Test-ExchangeSearch -Identity [email protected]

We can also refer to the event log - under the following event sources:
