I've set upt a cluster in a lab environment - replication factor of 2 using RHEL 6.4. All looks good from the master node (all data is searchable, search factor is met, replication factor is met). I'm also using a heavy forwarder. Forwarding to the 2 peers is done on separate ports (9997 and 9998). Receiving from the hosts is on port 9996. Deploymemnt monitor shows the forwarders are up (one heavy and one universal).
When I try to do a search (from the search head), I get a message stating "no results found".
Any ideas?

The forwarders need to send on the same port as the indexers (peers) receive. Also, you don't need to use different ports on the different indexers. I suggest the following
On each indexer, set the receiving port to 9997.
On each forwarder, set the server in outputs.conf to
server=indexer1:9997,indexer2:9997
On the search head, under distributed search, add each indexer. For this, use the splunkd port (8089 by default).

Just to ensure, the indexer is added as search peer in Search Head?
