contentclass=SPSPeople

Looks like the content class changed. Once I took that out of my query it all started working.

Same scenario, same issue. I decided to remove contentclass=SPSPeople figuring it would break the query, but it worked.

Not sure why this happened. MS may have changed something? Who knows?

  I was surprised at the number of complaints I got.... didn't realize it was used so much at our company. 😛

    Did you change this in the "People Search Core Results" web part? I changed "{searchboxquery} contentclass=spspeople" to "{searchboxquery} " but still getting 0 results back. Was there any delay when you made this change? Did the crawl have to run?
    
    Thanks for your help!
