Configuring People search

In my current project all of the sudden the people search stopped working and the number of items in the scope were zero.

I did some research and found that to enable the people search you need to add the following url to the content source (if your portal url is http://www.demoportal.com)
then you need to add sps3://www.demoportal.com

check this post talk about Crawling SharePoint sites using the SPS3 protocol handler

Also just a quick note that if you happen to be going over SSL the protocol would change to sps3s://demoportal.com

I agree with Mat Symes.

I have trawled the internet for days about this.

Adding sps://servername and stating a full crawl fixed it for me.

Thanks Luis!

Worked for me as well, actually I deployed the sharedservice from development to live and it stoped working, after adding the sps3://liveservername fixed it
