Click on a group name under Search to give users in that group Search privileges for the collections in this permission.   Click on a group name under Search and Order to give users in that group Search and Order privileges for the collections in this permission.   You may select multiple groups for Search and multiple groups for Search and Order.

NOTE:  One use case here is to allow All Registered Users or All Guest Users to search for and order granules in Version n+1 collections, but not allow those users to search for and order granules in Version n collections.   To do this, create a Collection Permission with Selected Collections, choose only your Version n+1 collections, and choose the All Guest Users or All Registered Users group appropriately.    Make sure that there is no permission that grants access to Version n collections to All Guest Users / All Registered Users.
