Does Views_fastsearch index and display content from restricted nodes? For instance, the forum module combined with either forum_access or node_access will restrict the display of those forum posts in the drupal search. Does this module respect those restrictions, since it is straight SQL search?

Thanks!

Views_fastsearch uses Drupal core search.module to do it's indexing, so if search module indexes it, views_fastsearch can display it. I've never used the forum_access.module so I'm not really sure what it does or how it does it. However I did see a db_rewrite_query hook, that I'm views will call. So my answer is, if in doubt, please test it. Thanks!

Views_fastsearch only filters based on the search results. When creating any view, you typically should also add a view filter for "Node: Published" to filter on only published nodes.
