[Bug]: Search returns outdated pages

[MaiklT]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

What happened?

The search results contain pages where the current user (incl. unauthenticated user) gets pages that have set an end date in the past. When they click that link, they get an error message ("You don't have access to that page"), except administrators and users that have the permission to edit the page.

The scheduler task for the search crawler runs as expected, with no errors.

Steps to reproduce?

1. Log in as an administrator and create a page. Allow View permissions to all users, and set an end date in the past.
2. Place a module with some content on the page, e.g. a HTML module with some unique text.
3. Wait until the "Search: Site Crawler" job has been executed by the scheduler (or run it immediately)
4. Log out - you should not see the page in the menu now (as it has expired).
5. Search for the text you entered above. You will see the page in the search results.

Current Behavior

Outdated/Expired pages are listed in the search results

Expected Behavior

Outdated/Expired pages should not be listed in the search results - or maybe only to users who have edit permissions for that page. Ideally it should be marked in the search results that the page is outdated for these users.

Relevant log output
