Search not finding results if logged in with a 'user' user account

Squiz Matrix v5.4.0.2

I have created a password protected section on my website with access for a group of ‘user’ user accounts. In that section, I have an asset listing page. I have created a search page to search this asset listing page and have added a search field to the asset listing page.

This all works quite nicely. I can enter a keyword in the search field and am taken to the results page showing all the assets with that keyword.

However, this only seems to work when I am logged in using my admin account. If I log in as a user with read access to the password protected section, my search fails, coming up with no results.

This is clearly a permissions problem, but I can’t work out where the permissions are failing. The user accounts all have read access to the listed assets, so I would expect that the search should have sufficient permission to access these assets.

If I change the permissions on the assets to give read access to ‘public user’, then the search succeeds.

Have you got Perform Group Access Check set to Yes on the Search Page? And Search as Public User set to No?

Thanks Bart. I changed those settings and the search appears to be working properly now.
