Question

My recollection is that Search ignores access control when viewing pages, so the results include pages that may not, actually, be viewable.

But I can't find a page that says this.

Am I misremembering? Or is it just that I can't find the page?

Answer

If you answer a question - or have a question you asked answered by someone - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status is in a drop-down list below the edit box.

That was the case for very early TWiki releases. Not sure which one, but since around TWikiRelease01Feb2003 (Beijing release), TWiki is handling permissions in a SEARCH properly.
