Search does not respect user access

I haver noticed that users can have media appear in search as well as access it when they have no access to that library, why is this so? I have checked and triple checked this, if i make a library and put something in it that no user has access to, i can still search for it, it will show and it will be play, this seems to be a rather big flaw.

Many have to go over specific example and user settings as I can no reproduce a user search getting results and accessing anything they have they have been removed access from.

Last night i made a 4K movie library @Happy2Play just a test to see how my server handles it, the library had no access permission for anyone not even myself yet the 4K films were coming up when searched, tested this with my kids accounts and a a test user account and they were always showing in search. Just to clarify the library itself is not showing, that stays hidden, the content is not.

FWIW cannot reproduce, all my users - including myself, as I don't want to see junior's stuff - show only items they have access to when Search conducted.

Searching for Re ady Player One brings up the 4K version as well as the BD version, both are in completely different libraries on completely different HDD's...

Oh wait, i just noticed the issue, the main library has access to that drive, ffs, sorry guys my bad, feeling a little Homer Simpson like here.

Tested and that was the issue, so sorry to be a bother, sometimes it just has to stare you in the face to be noticed.

Yes, it is always the little things.  But glad you got it figured out.

For anyone else looking at this the library folder was duplicated to Movies 4K and Movies library.  So, everything was still available via Movies.
