  Hi Venkatzeus,

  Firstly, I  need to verify the followings:
   1.Whether  this issue occurred on a specify SharePoint 2013 site.
   2.Whether  you have extended the problematic site.

  Make  sure that your user is a site administrator. If you have extended the problematic site, please add it to AAM.

  There are other probable causes for this issue:
   1.Anonymous authentication is not configured for the problematic web application in IIS
      Fix: Enable Anonymous authentication in IIS
   2.Server is running out of memory
      Fix: Free up memory on the server

  Hi,

  I tried the below:

  1) Restarted SharePoint Search Host service from services.msc

  2) Did IIS reset

  3) Restarted the server.

  Now, I do not get the issue. I think, it was due to the Memory issue

  Thanks
