SharePoint Search crawling got stuck at stopping or crawlling!!

PowerShell script to set crawl status as idle

You may face issue sometimes in crawl component configuration of SharePoint 2010/2013 Search. If you change any configuration of crawl, you must run full crawl once, or else it will throw error in backup operation. If a crawler is in running state, it will not allow you to change scope or sites url. To set the crawl status of a search service write search service name in below script

Get-SPEnterpriseSearchCrawlContentSource -SearchApplication "Search Service Application" | ForEach-Object {

     if ($_.CrawlStatus -ne "Idle")

     {

         Write-Host "Stopping currently running crawl for content source $($_.Name)..."

         $_.StopCrawl()

        

         do { Start-Sleep -Seconds 1 }

         while ($_.CrawlStatus -ne "Idle")

     }

}
