Share Point People Search Not working

People search results returns sps3:// instead of http://

Centrail Administration-->My SSP-->Search Settings(under Search Area)-->Content sources and crawl schedules-->Local Office SharePoint Server sites.

In Local Office SharePoint Server sites, I tried following address.

1) sps3://mysharepoint.companyname.com/

2)sps3s://mysharepoint.companyname.com/

3)https://mysharepoint.companyname.com:

More Information about Protocols:
SSP3 protocol  :


The SSP3 protocol commonly shows up when you define the content sources for the SSP
Some examples:


        sps3://mysite.yourdomain.com/           
        sps3://www.yourdomain.com/mysite/

        sps3://my.yourdomain.com/


Note, that if you are using SSL on your My Site host headers, the SPS3 protocol should not be used, and you should change your content source to use the SPS3S protocol instead.


The protocol handlers (that ship out-of-the-box with MOSS 2007) translate the content source url from sps3:// into a web service call
        sps3://mysite.yourdomain.com      
     
        is actually crawled on the web front end by the indexer using a SOAP call to the web service


                http://mysite.yourdomain.com/_vti_bin/spscrawl.asmx
( the SPS3 SOAP call is made using HTTP protocol on TCP Port 56737 )


The SPS3S Protocol
The SPS3S protocol is used when you have enabled SSL for the My Sites, and is used for crawling people profiles (e.g., those defined in the SSP) to support the "People Search" functionality in the MOSS Enterprise Search.


This protocol is used to index WSS 3.0 server farms using SSL (which MOSS 2007 is layered on top of )


Some examples:


        sps3s://www.yourdomain.com/ 


        sps3s://www.yourdomain.com/mysite/


        sps3s://my.yourdomain.com/




The protocol handlers (that ship out-of-the-box with MOSS 2007) translate the content source url from sps3s:// into a web service call


        sps3s://mysite.yourdomain.com     
      
        is actually crawled on the web front end by the indexer using a SOAP call to the web service


                https://mysite.yourdomain.com/_vti_bin/spscrawl.asmx
( the SPS3S SOAP call is made using HTTP protocol on TCP Port 56738 with SSL encryption )
