Environment

Novell Open Enterprise Server 11 (OES 11) Linux Support Pack 2

Situation

Getting inconsistent results to searches that are user-specific.
 
It would seem to be a rights issue, except user rights verified for user having issue. 
 
If user performs search on a specific index they get no results. If the same user performs the same search against all indexes, the index breakdown on the left of the results page shows the correct number of results for the specific troublesome index, but when they click that link the user is again presented with no results.
 
When performing the same search logged in as a different user, the correct results are presented.

Resolution

Confirm that each user searching indexes has a unique UID in LUM

Cause

All users had been created with the same UID in LUM
