Error Solution
Search index create or update returns an "application domain unloaded" error This has likely occured after an upgrade. Refresh app vars and run the index again.
External Component has thrown an exception. This is likely a misconfiguration in the app vars or the SearchIndexLookup table. Check the following:
  • Under Site Search app vars, confirm that the paths to the CenterContentWebAppPath, DisplayWebAppPath,
    DTIndexBaseDirectory, and WkstWebAppPath. They should reference paths on the server for the instance. if they
    are incorrect, update them and run the index again.
  • Check the SearchIndexLookup table and confirm that the DLLPathValue for Metadata is null. If not, update to null and
    then restart the job runner and run the index again.
