SYMPTOMS
You cannot find indexed file share documents when you search the workspace index. You have verified that you are able to view the documents when connecting to the file share.



CAUSE
The file share documents are secured by local machine groups, or by a domain local group in a separate domain.



RESOLUTION
If you are indexing content inside the domain of the SharePoint Portal Server computer, use domain local, global or universal groups. If you are indexing content in a separate domain, use domain global or universal groups.



MORE INFORMATION
The workspace index stores access control lists (ACLs) associated with documents. The ACLs are used to validate security during queries. Documents that the searching user does not have validated access to are filtered out of the search results. Search cannot validate permissions when content is secured with local machine groups or when the content resides in a separate domain and is secured using a domain local group (a group that is valid only within its domain). Search also does not store file share permissions, only the ACLs on the documents themselves.
