Lars, this is not a bug, a private forum section is not included in the search results

You should be of the same role that is allowed to see this section in order to get the search results from that section

Hey Ross,

first let me thank you for you answer. Secondly - I am a bit confised by you answer. Do I have to be of the same role or are restricted forums not included in the search results? Your answers say different things!?

If the last answer is the case, then something is not working on our site. We are having a role called "admin". I am having this role. The same role is the one, that is able to see the restricted forum. But I still don't get any search results from that particular forum.

I hope you can clarify your answer a little bit?

Thank you for your help again!

Yes, when you make your forum section private, you assign, which role can see it. All other roles won't be able to see that forum section and search in there. 

As to the search results which you don't see try more keywords or some phrase from the topic you're looking for in the private forum section. 

Hey Ross,

no luck at all. I generated unique text via http://www.fillerati.com/ and created a new topic on the restricted forum. I am able to search the topic itself and I am able to search the forum, when I am in the forum itself. But I cannot search for any content in the restricted forum, when I am on the index page of the forum.

I mean it is okay for me, if I am able to search the forum, when I am in that spefic forum, but it would be "nice" if it was also possible from the index, so that it is included in all other search results.

Thanks for your help again! I appreciate it!

PM me your domain name,  access details of the user who can see private forum. I'll take a look at the issue.
