After going through the index server event log I found this “warning”:
Event ID 2436The start address
After rebuilding search (which did not help) and analyzing the SharePoint error log, I stumbled across the following:
“MS Search Administration 8ije Verbose Search application '6a6d1b28-3a6a-416c-884c-1d8d967f9966': Skipping people start address configuration b/c start address 'sps3://[server_name]:1212' was automatically added to the default content source once.”
There was a port number :1212/ (which seems absolutely correct, considering that my Sites are on this port number).
The solution to the problem was to remove the port number and keet the slash, I have seen this Protocol handler get confused with it the past. Once that was removed and the crawl was initiated, it was grabbing the people profiles.
Seems like a simple resolution, but it cost me my weekend J.

Well, thanks. Although this solution does not apply to my case, it at least make me relaxed a little bit since I know that there are other people stuck at the same problem like me.
Another post worthy reading is here http://www.sharepointblogs.com/camper/archive/2007/07/13/moss-2007-people-search-issues.aspx
Hope it will help.
P.S. my personal idea is that sharepoint gather do not like "Mysite" to have relative path, such as "http://servername:port#/mysite/". This may be the reason that the gather can not crawl.
My idea is to remove the relative path of "mysite", set it to "http://servername:port#". You can make the setting in SSP -> Mysite Setting.
Hi
I am also facing same problem. I am not able to search people as well as office documents. Can you me where I need to set protocal handler and what I need to set there?
Thanks in advance

In my case the url changed http://... to https://...
The sps3://... also needed to change to sps3s://...
Basically one of the first things to check is wether the url is correct.
After reading a couple of other blogs about this error that is my conclusion.
Hi Natalya, Your info on the people search was helpful. I tried it and it still errored out with "Error in PortalCrawl Web Service". I found another note on the web to create a root web site collection eg. http://sharepoint/ and then it will work. And guess what - it did!
Take care, Jim
People should read this.
Gratest Thank you!!!
I solve my problem whith you post!
Creating a blank site at the root worked for me too. Thanks, Jim!
