I hope you are well today and thank you for your question.

Yes, you can search private pages & articles by configuring the search form post status option as described on the below page.

Best regards,

Thanks. I don’t see it because it’s in Premium version…

I tried other search module and unfortunately, they don’t check user rights. I’m using “User role Editor” plugin to fine tune rights for every group user. Their results show me private articles or private pages that the logged user can’t see. Is your plugin using able to use those rights ?

Is there a time limited demo version with all features ?

Regards

Currently, we don’t provide a trial of the premium version and the plugin doesn’t use the rights of the “User role Editor” plugin.

The “user role editor” is just a plugin which allow you set rights already existing in WordPress.

Roles and Capabilities

Please confirm that your result use :

A search engine is not suppose to show results containing page or post a user can’t see.

Thanks

The Ivory Search plugin searches the posts and pages by the statuses that you have configured in the plugin settings as described above and currently does not consider the user role like the default WordPress search.
