I have a recurring error in my search crawl that I'm having trouble pinning down.

The error reads:

"http://portal.domain.comhttp://portal.domain.com/sites/sitename/_layouts/userdisp.apsx?ID=
The Content Plugin received a "Format Error" response from the backend server for the item.
( Expecting port in URL as number[0])"

As you can see the root url is duplicated somehow, and this error seems to scroll through for every user ID.

There is a redirect at the root site point to a new site under the "sites" managed path.

I have tried excluding the url path for crawls, but it hasn't made a difference.

Hi,

I hope after excluding the url from the crawler you have performed Index reset and then again did full crawl. 

If not, please do an index reset and full crawl the error should not come up again if you have excluded the url.
