Project Server 2010 - How to configure search for PWA sites?

The Search Service Application does not crawl the PWA sites/site collection. You will see the below error in the crawl logs.

https://servername/pwa
The SharePoint item being crawled returned an error when attempting to download the item.

To resolve this we will need to change the registry key value for the "UserAgent".

The original value is set to
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.01; Windows NT; MS Search 6.0 Robot)

We need to change this to the one below
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/4.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; InfoPath.3; .NET4.0C; MS-RTC LM 8; Tablet PC 2.0)

And here are the steps.

Ensure that you have taken the full back up of the Registry before making any changes.
Open the Registry Editor
Now locate and replace the user agent key’s value in the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office Server\14.0\Search\Global\Gathering Manager\UserAgent
with this value: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/4.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; InfoPath.3; .NET4.0C; MS-RTC LM 8; Tablet PC 2.0)

Restart the server after making the changes.

Run the full crawl again.

You will notice that searchable items number will increase from the previous number.
