I'm studing to implement that module and I would like to know if it affects the results presented by the search engine? I mean, if I grant permission to view on a new node type to a private group, any anonymous user searching will render those nodes on the private group node type or would be excluded on the search result?

Drupal's node access system covers viewing pages, teasers, lists, previews, search results, etc etc etc

Sorry to insist but I don't understand your words, does it answer yes or no to my question? You say that drupal handles viewing and searching and so on, I know. What I'm not sure is if once nodeaccess handles the viewing/editing/deleting decision it also determines it on a search. If I tag a node to be seen by a concrete role or user with your module it shouldn't appear on a search by any other role or person, should it? The same behaviour I would expect with Views module, if I make a views listing of nodes if should list only the ones that the present role or user should see and the rest.

The content is still private, and users will not be able to access nodes that they can not access normally, even if they search for them. Drupal handles node access, this module just sets that up by role. So, once you have the roles set up properly Drupal will take over and cover all your bases.

Thanks maiki and debtman7. I've already searched for that information, I new that the system was supposed to work that way, I just wasn't sure because I've never had taken the time to check it :-) Thanks again to both.
