When doing people searches in SharePoint 2010 Server, the account name is formatted DOMAIN/USERNAME instead of DOMAIN\USERNAME. This is causing a User Not Found error when trying to click on their profile link. Has anyone run into this? I've been hunting for a setting in CA, on the site, in search, in user profiles that controls this but can't find one that has fixed the issue. I verified the user profile actually lists the AccountName attribute as DOMAIN\USERNAME.

Moved answer from question:

I found that the AccountName property for the user profile had the 'index' checkbox unselected. Selected this and reran a full crawl for the user profiles and this updated the search results with the correct link to the user profile.
