MOSS 2007 MySite: This Site search not working

When searching on your own Mysite search results were always unsuccessful.

First I verified that the search account had full read rights to the mysite web app.

Next verified all IIS settings were correct.

Lastly after speaking to Microsoft for a few hours with no suggestions, I decided to add the crawler account to Personalization Services Permissions. I gave the crawler all rights and the crawl worked.

Well I wasn't fully satisfied with this approach because technically the search account doesn't need a mysite. So I went back to my Policy for Web Application settings. Deleted the crawler and added back. This seemed to work. I deleted the crawler account from the Personalization Services Permissions. Seems it wasn't able to crawl so no results were being searched.
