What I have?

I have a SharePoint 2010 web application with FBA configured and it is exposed to Internet. The root site collection has a huge hierarchy and each site has document libraries with many documents.

There are more than 10 site groups defined and some of them has access only to some sites.

What problem am I facing?

Everything was working fine and suddenly I am facing a problem in Enterprise Search.

When a user searches, the search result displays everything (including the site where user does not have permission) and clicking on a result it either opens the item (page/document) or shows Access denied error depending on whether the user has permission on that item.

Can someone tell me why is this happening?

have you found a soluton for this problem? We are having the same problem with our environment with Enterprise search. Permissions seems to be right and also search scopes but still users gets search results from sites they don't have permissions to. – user10400 Aug 29 '12 at 13:21
No :( This error is still there on the site. – Vijay Sep 13 '12 at 7:08
Are you using standard SP Search or you are querying from your code? – user13559 Dec 11 '12 at 15:22
It is standard SP Search. No other customization. – Vijay Mar 30 at 17:13

I haven't had to use this myself, but I've read about similar problems. Posts like this one address how to customize security trimming of searches. Theoretically it's supposed to do that OOB but apparently that's not the case in some deployments, as seen here.

If you try to implement that, please post results here to help others out, because it's not an uncommon problem.

Cheers!
