i read about similat issue and they mentioned that the node.init inside
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Servers\15.0\Data\Office Server\Applications\Search\Nodes\5EDB90\AdminComponent1\Configuration\Local might be corrupted, but when i check this file i found it have the following data:-
; This file contains node properties set by the host controller.
; Manually modifying this file may cause problems for the host controller
; in contacting the node for monitoring. All such modifications would be
; overwritten when the host controller reconfigures the node.
