My Site SSL Port incorrect in People Search

After I installed the Infrastructure Update, when you use the People Search functionality, and the My Site is configured on SSL, a strange thing occurs. When the results are shown, the hyperlink is shown with the port 80 appended to the address! This screws up the result!

Finally the following link saved me!

Make sure you have set the following properly:

1. In the Shared Services Provider –> Search Settings –> Content Sources –> –> sps3:// has been specified. Most likely you have removed this from the list thinking it is not useful!

2. Make sure you have a Search Center site setup. If this is not available, create one using:

Site Settings –> Create Site –> Enterprise –> Search Center / Search Center with Tabs. (for e.g. let this be http://yoursite.com/Search)

3. Go to Site Settings (Site Collection Administration Settings) –> Search Settings –> Use Custom Scope –> http://yoursite.com/Search

Now you should start seeing your results!
