"connect to server" can only be used to connect to an index shared from FoxTrot Server (as opposed to FoxTrot Pro 5-user) outside of your local network (if the Server is in the local network, it should appear automatically in the "search sources" list).
Likewise, "remove server" removes a server to which you connected manually; servers (or indices shared from FoxTrot Pro 5-user) found on your local network should disappear automatically when they are no longer running, or when you are no longer connected to this local network.
Servers (or indices shared from FoxTrot Pro 5-user) should be discovered on the local network via Bonjour, and it seems this does not work as expected in your situation.
The LogNetworkServices setting could help to figure out the problem. Not sure why these log messages are no longer shown in Console.app in recent macOS versions. You can probably use the log command in Terminal.app, but I am not sure how.
The easiest way to see these log messages, once the LogNetworkServices setting has been set, is to launch FoxTrot Pro from a Terminal.app window:
"/Applications/FoxTrot Professional Search.app/Contents/MacOS/FoxTrot Professional Search"
You can also use Discovery to see which services can be discovered using Bonjour.
Do you have other shared services on the same machine (file sharing, screen sharing etc)? If so, do these service still appear in Discovery, and in the Finder?
