Setting up Search functionality in Sharepoint server site, which needs configuration of Shared Services Provider (SSP) :• Setting up user Profiles• Setting up address to be crawled• Set up of Scope …
After the complete configuration on testing, you might come across situation where search in site data works but people search doesn’t seem to work .This can really be nerve clinching …well though it seem like a big issue with installation and stuff but it’s a “miss” in configuration setting.
The addition of url “sps3://sitename “works wonders…..well am sure this is surely going to make my Christmas celebration much better …

Even when I realized I've deleted that kind of url some time before, I couldn't remember the 2nd letter and after a while was trying all variants of sXs3 :p
big thx!

brilliant!!! You have saved me a lot of time!!!!!! Thanks a bunch!
Oh Yeah,
This also worked for me, a few minutes after I implemented the change my boss asked me how I was doing on this case, and I could tell him I had it all figured out.
Thanks a Lot!!!!!
Thanx a lot...
What site does the sps3:// point to? Your shared services provider site?
Thanks alot... this really saved some time
Great, this works for me...
Hi There,
The people search in SSP is working fine. I click on view user profiles and type in a name and it displays the email appropriately.
But when I want to add the user to the list in "people and groups" I see the users old email id. Can you please guide me?
Thanks,
tp
Thanks for that! Right to the point!
Straight to the point - this worked for me! Thanks a million...
Hi Raghu....thanks a million. You made my day!!
Guys...this is the solution.
STEP1: As Raghu mentioned, add sps3://website to the content sources list under search settings in SSP.
STEP2: Do the profile import. Unless you do this, you won't see any people even after full crawl. The most important point - be aware of what users you want to import whether the entire Domain users or users from specific OUs.
STEP3: Now run the full crawl and get a beer.
Good luck!!
