"服" is a short form for "(网络)服务器". I think the context here is video games. Am I right?
"该" means “this”.
I hope this helps.
"该" means “this”.

Character not found on this server
The actual term is "character not found on this server" or simply "character not found", with "this server" being implied. It happens when a player has created a character on one server and tries to play on another, but the data can't be retrieved. It can also happen on the same server as the account, but the server has problems (e.g. being reset) and can't access the data.
Note from asker:
| I agree with your translation. There are many phrases like this in the translation, such as 没有该玩家 (Player not found), which I believe appear when the player does a search for something that isn't there. It is the system response, and conforms to other commonly seen Web language like "Website not found" etc. |
Peer comment(s):

Rita Pang
: There's a bit of over-extension of meaning here; the phrase contains the meaning of "characters have not been created yet/yet to exist on this server"; it doesn't necessarily imply that a search for a specific (or any) character has taken place prior.

When a player logs in, the system performs a query to retrieve his character's data. If the query fails, an error message pops up like the one in question, or "Character not found". It's a "search", just not directly by the player.
