I am using SP2013. I have created a new page. On this page I have a search textbox and a search result web part. In this search result web part you see default all users. So it is filtered on users. Its like a people search. When I click on a username I get an error:

enter image description here

Translated from Dutch to English:

User not found.

This is the URL of the hyperlink on the username which I have clicked:

http://myProfile.myCompany.com/Person.aspx?accountname=MYCOMPANY%255CVERWERT

Why do I got this error? I've got this error on all users in my search result web part.

This is a bug or at least unexpected behavior, introduced on the April 2014 Cumulative Update. I've been monitoring the solving process of this issue and even the latest CU of August 2014 seems to not fix this issue.

There are couple of posts about this subject including temporary workarounds. See:

Update: The bug has been fixed in the September 2014 Cumulative Update. The bug was known as Double Encoding Bug. Source: http://www.toddklindt.com/blog/Regressions/sp2013sep2014cu.aspx
