Research direction

Start in the main README and verify whether the linked Azure DevOps Server troubleshooting page has moved. Search for the content referenced by the URL fragment and confirm a current destination; done means the README points to a valid page, or clearly documents that no replacement was found.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The main README says:

To find help on troubleshooting Azure DevOps Server follow this link.

The given URL https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/devops/project/search/administration#troubleshoot-search-in-azure-devops-server-and-tfs returns 404. Googling for the words in the URL's fragment part doesn't reveal any obvious candidates for this particular document being rehosted at a different location.

Is that content actually online somewhere?
