Question : Sharepoint error, event id 6481

Hi Guys,

Im receiving the following error on my sharepoint server exactly every 1 minute.  I've tried to google the error but cannot find the cause. Any ideas?

Application Server job failed for service instance Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.SearchDataAccessServiceInstance (96c83c0f-1a34-4d7e-9cb8-7556f1401c06).

Reason: Initialization failure

Hi!

The only solution that worked, was to re-install the MOSS server again, and reimport the site... Thanks fro the help anyhow.
