Special Access Rules

Information in hidden fields in a user's profile is not searchable by external users (with a portal profile) in a community. For example, if a user in a community has a hidden email address and an external user searches for it, the user record is not returned in the search results. Hidden field values are also not returned when external users perform searches on non-hidden fields. So if an external user searches for a user's name (can’t be hidden), any hidden field values associated with the user record (for example, a hidden email address) are not returned in the search results.
Internal users from your organization who belong to the same community, however, can both search for and view hidden field values in search results.
Any fields that have been restricted in visibility will be returned empty, whether or not they are, and will not be removed from the field listing.
