    Hi Avnish,

    Field-level security doesn’t prevent searching on the values in a field. When search terms match on field values protected by field-level security, the associated records are returned in the search results without the protected fields and their values.

    thanks

    Hi,

    It will return the matched records but will not show field which is hidden through Field level security.

    To add more -

    If a field is invisible to a user and validation rule says that the record cannot be saved without entering value for that field, then that particular user would never be able to save a record for that object.

    Hope it helps.
