Searching restricted pages

[lyngsie]

Hi all,

I have a brief question as I couldn't find any info on this matter in either the Dekiwi docs or on Lucene in general.

Are restricted pages secured from showing up in searches, popular pages, etc. when a user do not have the permissions to view them in the first place? (or are there any ways to circumvent the restricted pages?)

Yes, restrictions are obeyed during searches. However, there was a bug that if you deleted a restricted page the restriction was ignored and a search would find it. It would seem that this bug has been fixed. Upon testing when a page is deleted it takes a minute or two to remove its index information, so there is a very small window when an anonymous search may find the page.
