I have implemented a Search application and Search Source for the portal page and I am able to see the results as admin, when I impersonate the end user I am unable to view the search results. It is going blank. Any Suggestions?

Hi,
Because Admin bypasses ACLs and user criteria, everything looks fine for you — but impersonated users get zero results.
If my response has resolved your query, please consider giving it a thumbs up and marking it as the correct answer!

Your Search Application and Search Source may have restricted by roles.
If you assigned a role (even unintentionally), the end user must have it.
Please check below common mistake:
Adding a role to the Search Application for testing
Forgetting to remove it
Admin sees results; users see nothing
