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.

"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.
