Yes, that is one of the design goals of the portal_catalog tool: users see only search results which they are allowed to view. If your content is all in a workflow state which does not permit anonymous access ("private" in the default workflow), then anonymous will not find any search results. | Also, when I try and reindex some of the indices, I get a POS key error... "POSKeyError" or "POSError -- Conflict"? The first one is Bad News (tm); it suggests that you have some cruft in the catalog, and may need to recover the ZODB. The second is "normal" -- you may need to stop other write activity while you do the reindexing.
