SharePoint 2007 Search Error: The gatherer is shutting down

Please verify the servers where Office Server Search service is possibly in hang status.(stopping mode)

1.    Check your topology from Central Administration – > Servers in Farm section and define which SharePoint servers responsible for running search.

2.    Connect to all those machines, open services.msc, and check status of Office Server Search Service.

3.    If you find the service in "stopping" state, then open task manager,  Kill the mssearch.exe process. After killing this process your Office Server Search service should go to "stop" state.

4.    Now restart the same service and check if the problem persists. If it does not, then the issue is fixed.

If that does not help, you may need to restart the server to fix the issue.
