Sharepoint Foundation 2010 Compatability no search service available

I completed a database restore of SP2010 Foundation to 2013 foundation.

The search does not work and I get the message:

Your search cannot be completed because no Search service is available. Contact your administrator for more information

I've tried the following:
-restarted Timer jobs
-Reset IIS
-restarted Search services
-Ran Farm Configuration
-Ran a full crawl

I have more than one web application. This particular one that I migrated, the search does not work.
The other web application search works fine.
ULS Shows this message:
Product: Sharepoint foundation Search
FetchDataFromURL start at(outside if): 1 param: start
Process w3wp.exe

Please help

Hi @spencersouv-4567 ,

According to your description, looks like there is no issue with the search application. The issue should be in this web application. You could fiest check if your Content Source contains the site url, if not reset it:

Hi Elsie,

Thank you for replying. I did the above and still getting the message search service unavailable.

I reset the search index and ran a full crawl again. No luck.

Do you have any other ideas?
