Replying to myself:

I've been testing (advanced) 'find' in a simple setup and I can't figure
out the behavior regarding security at all:

Root folder, and inside that we have folders a and b.
Folder a has a subfolder c, folder b has a subfolder d 

The search is each time for 'folder' with Anonymous 'access contents
information':

* 'access contents information' in root has acquisition checked, but
Anonymous unchecked (but it should be acquiring that access contents
information is allowed for anonymous)

Finds nothing

* 'access contents information' in root has acquisition checked, and
Anonymous is checked as well.

Folders 'a' and 'b' are now found, but 'c' and 'd' aren't.

Why?

Regards,
