I recognized that the (Standard) DNN Search returns pages that have an end date in the past. This might be OK for users with edit permissions for that page, but not for others (and esp. unauthenticated users) who get an "You don't have access to that page" error when they click on the search result - which is annoying.

Is that a known behaviour, or should I report a bug on GitHub?

Happy DNNing!

Hi Michael,

This has not been logged as an issue, yet.

One quick check: did you make sure the scheduler runs fine? Theoretically, it could be the case that the reindexing is not happening.
Another check to refine the problem is to check if it is returning pages that are for a certain role that you don't have access to.

Tycho,

pages with restricted permissions appear in the search results only if the user has access, so this is not the problem. The problem is that the search results list outdated pages (with an end date in the past). For administrators and/or page editors this makes sense (more or less), but other users get the error.

And yes, the scheduler runs properly without any errors. Runs every 15 minutes, and needs ~15 seconds each time.

Happy DNNing!
Michael
