Restricted Page isn't protected from widget

I’ve recently discover a bug and want to report.
I created a Restricted Page which has a download link(customer has to buy with BuyNow button) using “Specific Post/Page Access Restrictions” feature.
This buying process is working fine. We have already sold some.

I discovered that we used a “search” widget at sidebar and typed the keywords relates to the download link, the restricted page is showed up as a one of the search result. So it’s not guarded at all within the site search. I could click and download file without buying.
It’s protected from search engines but not “search” widget within own site.

I’m using one the MysiteMyway’s theme and a “search” widget is theme’s default. I stopped using this widget.
I wanted to report this since you recommended MysiteMyway’s theme.

Is there any solution for this?
Thank you for your help.

What search widget are you using?

Have you made sure to check all the options in the Restrition Options -> Alternateive View Protection?

Hi David,

Thank you for your reply.
I used a search widget which is included in the theme (MysiteMyway’s “Method”)
I don’t think this widget is created by theme company because other widgets have all theme name attached.
So I think wordpress default widget.

I also tried Restrition Options -> Alternateive View Protection. I selected “Filter ALL WordPress queries”
After this selection, my home page disappeared. So I deselected it again and my home page came back.
