It is to do with the permissions.
Caused by: net.sf.acegisecurity.AccessDeniedException: Access is denied.

Invite that group as site Manager then try searching.

Thanks,

in fact it's not a problem that the group not belong to site Manager. The documents that cause problem are moved by a custom Alfresco action (coded in java). If the file has a specific type we removed permissions for group 2 on it (like this, the document is not visible for group 2 in the destination folder). If in the java action I keep the permissions on this node for group 2, the search works.

In the java action I removed the permissions like this:
<blockcode>
permissionService.setPermission(node, "GROUP_group2", PermissionService.READ, false);
</blockcode>

This code works well because I don't see the node when I am in group2 and I look the destination folder. But the search is in error when it finds this node.

Have you an idea?

Thanks

I found a way to do this:
For the folder and the document I don't want to be show to the group2, I implemented the following java action code:
<blockcode>
permissionService.setInheritParentPermissions(folderNode, false);
permissionService.setPermission(folderNode, "GROUP_group2", PermissionService.EXECUTE, false);
permissionService.setPermission(folderNode, "GROUP_group2", PermissionService.READ, false);
</blockcode>
And for the document:
<blockcode>
permissionService.setInheritParentPermissions(documentNode, true);
</blockcode>
