Summary:
In search results, only display Uploads files to authorized users
Detailed Description:
Currently the search module will return links to matching Uploads files, even if
the user does not have permission to access the file.  (He can see the link in
the search results, but gets a "you don't have permission" message when he
clicks on the link.)

I think this could be solved by tying the "searchability" to the "Authorized FEU
Groups" selection box in the Uploads Category editor.

In other words, Uploads should only be displayed in the search results IF the
user has permission to view the file.

This would be a nice feature, but I think whether or not the item shows up in
search should be determined by the search template. In the cases that I've
implemented similar functionality in the past, I still want to display the title
and summary of the document in the search results, but I want to let them know
(visually) that the document is protected. That way the user can register to see
the full document rather than keeping the document completely invisible.
