An unhandled exception occurred in the user interface.Exception Information: OSearch (Administrator)

I was getting this error while trying to start the Office SharePoint Server Search service on a standalone dev machine that I was configuring. The machine was not a part of any domain so I would just enter the username for the search account without the domain name. To solve this error one needs to provide the MachineName\AccountName for the search account to use
