I installed a Team Foundation Server 2013 . I opted to install SharePoint Foundation 2013 during the TFS installation on the same application server. The installation went well and everything looked fine. TFS was running and the SharePoint teamsites were also purring like a kitten.
But then I tried to do a search from the default team site which was created for me. I got the following message:Your search cannot be completed because no Search service is available. Contact your administrator for more information.
I clicked New and nothing nothing happened. No dropdown.
Then I remembered that in order to get your Search Service Application provisioned you have to create it using the configuration wizard in Central Administration.
I started the wizard and when I got to the page where I needed to select the services I want, I saw only 1 service. The Usage and Health Data Collection service.
Anyway i found out that If you choose to install SharePoint through TFS, we will only configure services that you would need to use for TFS-supported integration features. We do this to conserve resources. Search does not fall into this category, and moreover is one of the largest consumers of memory in SharePoint, so it is not advised to turn it on if you are running SharePoint and TFS on the same box
Someone can help me maybe and advice what should i do to install the search service? (i don't want to install all things from start and i am not able to do that cause the developers working on the tfs2013 all day.
