Restart Search Topology in Sharepoint 2013

Today i got an issue. My search has been stopped suddenly due to some configuration changes. I looked for the issue and tried to crawl. Got errors during crawl. While i open the Sharepoint search administration i found in the Toplogy section there were some errors and Warning.

I have restarted the Serach Service Instance using powershell and crawled the Content source again with Full crawl and search starts working.

Here is the script to Restart the Search Service Instance

$SPServiceInstance = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceInstance -Identity "ServerName"
Start-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceInstance -Identity $SPServiceInstance

Wait for some time until the Search Service Instance execute
Mean while you can check the status of Search Service Instance by using

Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceInstance -Identity $SPServiceInstance
