first question should likely be: "is this module compatible with search api"

if not then i do not understand; i clearly have a few of my content types set to not show results for auth and anon; yet results of these content types still shows in search results.

Two level search restriction:

Form (in the search settings)
Only restricts the form and not the real results

Permissions (role permissions)
Since $user 1 has all permissions, this user bypasses the checks
So check that the permissions are correctly set (i.e. no search all in the Search config permissions), if correctly set, then chances are that these modules are not compatible.

wow that was quick.. faster than for me to dig up the answer.. nope, not compatible.

search results are from a view (part of search api). so just needed to filter content type in the view. too bad, since types by role would have been nice.

thanks.
