Though this problem seems to have been discussed many years back but I could not find a solution in any of the posts --- maybe I missed it!

I notice that for database where 'auth_view_own' has been set to 'yes' when a registered user logs in and does a keyword search, it overrides everything and give records of all users not just your own. Surprisingly when you give a '*' keyword search, it works well and give only your own records.

But for any other word in keyword search give all users record.

Is there a fix for this? Will appreciate any help in solving this.
