During a regular search:

It seems not enough resource to process your search. Go to settings -> Monitoring console -> Health check -> Click on Start. After run the health check, Splunk will show you if you need to increase the resources (Mem, CPU, Disk) etc.

I went through the search log, there is no "Error" msg, all "Info" tag.
