Hi @pmarjan. Thank you for your contribution
Here is some useful tips how you can test your changes using Magento test environment.
Add the comment under your pull request to deploy test or vanilla Magento instance:

• @magento give me test instance - deploy test instance based on PR changes
• @magento give me 2.4-develop instance - deploy vanilla Magento instance

❗ Automated tests can be triggered manually with an appropriate comment:

• @magento run all tests - run or re-run all required tests against the PR changes
• @magento run <test-build(s)> - run or re-run specific test build(s)
  For example: @magento run Unit Tests

<test-build(s)> is a comma-separated list of build names. Allowed build names are:

1. Database Compare
2. Functional Tests CE
3. Functional Tests EE,
4. Functional Tests B2B
5. Integration Tests
6. Magento Health Index
7. Sample Data Tests CE
8. Sample Data Tests EE
9. Sample Data Tests B2B
10. Static Tests
11. Unit Tests
12. WebAPI Tests

You can find more information about the builds here

ℹ️ Please run only needed test builds instead of all when developing. Please run all test builds before sending your PR for review.

For more details, please, review the Magento Contributor Guide documentation.

⚠️ According to the Magento Contribution requirements, all Pull Requests must go through the Community Contributions Triage process. Community Contributions Triage is a public meeting.

🕙 You can find the schedule on the Magento Community Calendar page.

@magento run all tests

did we decide that this was preferable against no results?
shouldn't we have a storeConfig for it?

[pmarjan]

When the customer group is denied searching the catalog, luma behaves in such a way that it would redirect to 404 page if the search results controller is hit (and that is if one knows or has Url to the search results previously saved or bookmarked).
So, luma does NOT land on a search results page saying that we do not have any results.

I thought this is the closest to that behavior, although, it gives information that luma does not: that the product search has been disabled.

I assume adding a store config about it, whether to throw an exception, or, display empty set of results, should be elegant approach.
