No I am refering to the site-wide-search package.

If the privileges form a hierarchy - we don't we just check for read on the news/item page and forget about news_read? Are you sure that news_read doesn't have more semantics than just read?

It is bad practice to create sub-privs such as news_read without apparent reason. The long term plan is to get rid of them (e.g. forums has a lot too). If there is a different semantic attached to it depends on the package implementation, but in most cases there is not. Most likely news_read does nothing that read couldn't do as well.
