It looks like your installation is in NoZebra mode (the NoZebra system
preference is on). You have two options:

1. Keep it in NoZebra mode, if that's what you intended. If so, you'll need
to rebuild the nozebra index using rebuild_nozebra.pl . NoZebra searching is
slower, not as powerful and more resource-intensive, but easier to set up.
2. Put it (back?) into Zebra mode (it sounds like you set it up using
Zebra). You'll have to turn off the NoZebra system preference, rebuild the
Zebra index using rebuild_zebra.pl and make sure that zebrasrv is running.
