Can I install updates to correct an error in a CRM system?
Periodically, I get this error message on a working CRM 4.0 system:

SAF: Knowledge Search
Error: Search HTTP server settings incorrect.

This causes the index server and knowledge search to stop functioning. However, if we bounce the server, everything gets restored and starts working normally. What could be the problem?
