this is a performace reason. you can add to the SQL statement thats executed for the results to have a check on certain forums

between the WHERE and Order SQL statements add

if ingLoggedInUserID = 2 then strSQL = strSQL & " AND NOT ( strTablePrefix & "ForumID = forum number) "

you can duplicate the section in brackets using AND duplicated..

this is a MOD and better than doing a check on every forum.

I know this is probably the way it is designed, but I just discovered that someone can do a search and get the search results without having to login. This is a big problem for me because sometimes on our closed forums, the topic titles themselves include sensitive information.
 
What I'd like is for a search request to say "you aren't logged in" or "you don't have permission" or equivalent. (And hiding the button isn't good enough because a skilled user can fake the request.) Ideally a search request should only search those forums and topics which a user will have the authorization to read.
 
Can someone tell me how to do that ... perhaps a simple mod ???
