I'm in the processes of developing a module that uses the standard security roles to restict access to portions of the module, similar to what the Forums module is doing.  The current search does not allow a module to specify this level of access to a search item.  This results in items being displayed that users does not have access to if they click the link.  Even worse is that the actual data could be displayed in the search results that they should not see.

I was thinking that the following would be a simple way to offer this feature.

1) The SearchItemInfo class constructor expose another argument for specifying the list of roles, I'll call it ItemAccess
2) The Search provider persist ItemAccess for each item, presumably in the SearchItem table.
3) When a query is submited the Search provider would check that the user is in this list of roles (if a list was provided) as well as at the module and page level.

The only problem I see with this approach is that if security changes at the sub-module level after the item is indexed the old security would apply until the item is re-indexed.  The module would have to be sure to track a datastamp for indexing and set it when both data or security changed.

Does anyone else have a need for a feature like this?  Any other suggests on how to impliment something like this.
