    Hi @osamaroo

    We are aware of a bug relating to this, could you please upgrade to SQL Search 3.5.3. If the problem still persists we have a workaround until we are able to fix this: 

    1. Disconnect from the SQL Server in SSMS you want to search
    2. Close and reopen SQL Search
    3. Reconnect the SQL Server

    Hopefully these steps will work in the meantime, apologies for the inconvenience caused.

    Thanks, 

    Owen

    Yes ostandage, that does work.   Needless to say there have been many reports of this problem over months.   Is there an ETA?  Thanks.

    I am having the same issue with SQL Search no longer working (all the boxes are greyed out).  I've uninstalled SQL Search and reinstalled, still nothing works.  I would really like to get it working again, so any advise would be appreciated.

    This is still happening, every time I try to use SQL Search.

    This is now happening to me.  I didn't notice it until recently, maybe the last few weeks.  It has happened only a few times.

    Encountering the same issue on 3.5.5. The above workaround worked for now.

    It's happening to me on 3.5.5.2703.  The workaround above does not work for me.  All boxes continue to be greyed out no matter what I try.

    I've even raised a support ticket on this and been told there's no ETA for a fix.

    I'm using SQL Search and SQL Prompt.
    The previous suggestions didn' t work for me. Opening and close the ' Tab History'  before starting SQL Search did the trick for me.
    SSMS 18.9.2/SQL Search 3.5.5.2703

    I disconnected from automatically connected DBs and reconnected, and SQL Search magically got enabled.

    This "workaround" does work, however this is August 2022 and the bug was reported Dec 2020 (almost 2 years ago).  Being a software engineer I understand the "priority" queue, but this one seems a little more significant than to be ignored for 2 years?

    This just happened to me as well. The workaround does work, but I agree that it seems odd this hasn't been fixed several years on from the initial bug discovery.
