Sharepoint going to Manage search Service (managesearchservice.aspx) gives an error

When I go to Central Admin > Application Managment > Manage search services I get the following error:

Method not found: 'Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.SearchAdminUtils.ConvertToSPException(System.Exception, Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPServer)'.   at Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.Search.Admin.Pages.SearchAdminPageBase.ErrorHandler(Object sender, EventArgs e)

Troubleshoot issues with Windows SharePoint Services.

Any idea why I may be getting this error and how I can make it stop? I don't know if it is related to using a custom masterpage. Is it possible to revert the masterpage?

The URL that the error comes up on is myserver:port/_admin/managesearchservice.aspx
