When doing a search, using the farm account, you get search results, but when
a “Normal” user does a search, they did not get any results.

It relates to giving the service accounts access to read users TGGAU attributes.(
[http://support.microsoft.com/kb/331951](http://support.microsoft.com/kb/331951))

It Seems like Search crawl account needs to be given read permissions in all user
accounts and groups.

The MSDN KB article has all Technical reason why

How do you give these permissions to crawl account, as below

The Windows Authorization Access Group (WAA group) has read permissions to the TGGAU
attribute of all user accounts and groups.So,if you add the SharePoint Services 
service accounts to the WAA group,the SharePoint Services service account has read
permissions to the TGGAU attribute of the user accounts.

To add the SharePoint Services service account to the WAA group, follow these steps:

 1. On the domain controller, click **Start**, point to Programs, point to **Administrative
    Tools**, and then click **Active Directory Users and Computers**.
 2. In the Active Directory Users and Computers window, expand **DomainName**, and 
    then click **Users** or **another appropriate organization unit (OU)**.
 3. Double-click the **SharePoint Services service account** you want to modify.
 4. In the **Properties** dialog box, click the **Member Of** tab.
 5. On the Member Of tab, click **Add**.
 6. In the Select Groups dialog box, type **Windows Authorization Access Group** under
    Enter the object names to select, and then click **OK**.
 7. **Restart **the SharePoint Services.

That worked for me, hope it helps someone else out as well.
