SharePoint 2010 LoopBack and Search errors

I was having total fits with getting my search to work properly in our environment.

I have SSL enabled on our site and on our MySites, also there are AAM for each site.
What I found was an error when I tried to search these sites, even when I added the read permissions to the web applications.

There are several postings about DisableLoopBack and Server 2008 R2 - here are the two I used:

http://www.cleverworkarounds.com/2011/07/22/troubleshooting-sharepoint-people-search-101/

So, for me I had to take the less attractive route to get this search working but once I disabled loopback my search started to work.

To search profiles via ssl:
  • Setup your Content Source to https://
  • Setup Profile Location (mysite) to sps3s://
    • Don't miss the sps3s here or it will not index via SSL!
